How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
Call Number: E184.A1K344 2019
In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas–from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities–that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.
Stamped from the Beginning : The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi
Call Number: E185.61.K358 2016
Award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues that racist ideas have a long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. As Kendi shows, racist ideas did not arise from ignorance or hatred. They were created to justify and rationalize deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and the nation’s racial inequities. In shedding light on this history, Stamped from the Beginning offers us the tools we need to expose racist thinking and, in the process, he gives us reason to hope.
