Americans like to insist that we are living in a postracial, color-blind society. In fact, racist thought is alive and well; it has simply become more sophisticated and more insidious. And as historian Ibram X. Kendi argues, racist ideas in this country have a long and lingering history, one in which nearly every great American thinker is complicit. Kendi chronicles the entire story of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. Stamped from the Beginning uses the lives of five major American intellectuals to offer a window into the contentious debates between assimilationists and segregationists and between racists and antiracists. From Puritan minister Cotton Mather to Thomas Jefferson, from fiery abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison to brilliant scholar W.E.B. Du Bois to legendary anti-prison activist Angela Davis, Kendi shows how and why some of our leading proslavery and pro-civil rights thinkers have challenged or helped cement racist ideas in America. As Kendi provocatively illustrates, racist thinking did not arise from ignorance or hatred. Racist ideas were created and popularized in an effort to defend deeply entrenched discriminatory policies and to rationalize the nation's racial inequities in everything from wealth to health. While racist ideas are easily produced and easily consumed, they can also be discredited--From publisher's website.

In this rousing and deeply empathetic book, Ibram X Kendi, founding director of the American Research and Policy Center, shows that when it comes to racism, neutrality is not an option: until we become the part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem. Using his extraordinary gifts as a teacher and storyteller, Kendi helps us recognise that everyone is, at times, complicit in racismwhether they realise it or not, and by describing with moving humility his own journey from racism to antiracism, he shows us how instead to be a force for good. Along the way, Kendi punctures all the myths and taboos that so often cloud our understanding, from arguments about what race is and whether racial differences exist to the complications that arise when race intersects with ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality. In the process he demolishes the myth of the post-racial society and builds from the ground up a vital new understanding of racvism - what it is, where it is hidden, how to identify it and what to do about it.

« Le contraire de "raciste" n’est pas "pas raciste". C’est "antiraciste". […] Quel est le problème avec le fait d’être "pas raciste" ? C’est une affirmation de neutralité : "Je ne suis pas raciste, mais je ne suis pas non plus agressivement contre le racisme." Il n’y a pourtant pas de neutralité dans la lutte concernant le racisme. […] Soit on soutient l’idée d’une hiérarchie raciale en tant que raciste, soit celle d’égalité raciale en tant qu’antiraciste. Soit on croit que les problèmes trouvent leurs racines chez des groupes de gens, et on est raciste, soit on situe les racines de ces problèmes dans le pouvoir et la politique, et on est antiraciste. Soit on permet aux inégalités raciales de se perpétuer, et on est raciste, soit on combat les inégalités raciales, et on est antiraciste. Il n’existe pas d’entre-deux. » Sur la question du racisme, la neutralité n’est pas une option : tant que nous ne nous impliquons pas dans la solution, nous faisons inéluctablement partie du problème. Conteur hors-pair et enseignant talentueux, Ibram X. Kendi nous aide à admettre que tout un chacun se fait, de temps à autre, complice du racisme – inconsciemment ou non. En racontant son propre voyage du racisme à l’antiracisme, il nous montre comment faire notre part et démolit le mythe de la société post-raciale, donnant ainsi naissance à une nouvelle et nécessaire perception du racisme : qu’est-il ? Où se cachet- il ? Comment le reconnaître ? Qu’en faire ?
