This week we discuss Stamped by Jason Reynolds published in March 2020. This book is an adaptation Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi (National Book Award winner).
ABOUT THE BOOK: The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. Stamped reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can be discredited.
