 Award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi states in his brilliant new book, 
 Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in 
 America, if we have any hope of grappling successfully with the stark 
 reality of racism, we must first understand how racist ideas were born, 
 developed, disseminated and enshrined in American life. \n\nKendi offers a 
 deeply researched, provocative narrative that is a comprehensive history of 
 anti-Black racist ideas-their origins in fifteenth century Portugal, their 
 arrival in England in the mid-sixteenth century, their blossoming in the 
 United States, where they became founding principles in our nation's 
 institutions and guarantors of its power. Contrary to popular conceptions, 
 these ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. Instead, they were 
 devised and honed by some of the most brilliant minds of each era, 
 including John Locke and Thomas Jefferson. \n\nKendi narrates this history 
 through the lives of five major characters in American history: early 
 America's most prolific and influential intellectual, Puritan minister 
 Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, the third U.S. President, fiery 
 abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, and the 
 brilliant anti-prison activist Angela Davis. \n\nIn illuminating the long, 
 dark history of racism, Kendi offers us the tools we need to overcome all 
 the hatred and injustice. He gives us authentic reason to hope. \n\nIbram 
 X. Kendi is an assistant professor of African American history at the 
 University of Florida.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
