Gr 7 Up—Although billed as "NOT a history book," this timely and accessible work examines the history of anti-Black racism and U.S. policies that have been used to justify slavery, genocide, and oppression. This reimagining of Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning teaches readers to think critically about race and investigates the ideologies of significant segregationists, assimilationists, and antiracists Jason Reynolds has written an effective, timely and accessible manifesto regarding racism, antiracism, and what it has to do with all of us here in the US. Essentially, Stamped is a remix of Ibram X. Kendi's important work on the history of racism (Stamped From The Beginning) written for young people. This not-a-history-book-history-book-about-race is told with passion, humor, and honesty. Jason Reynolds takes Dr. Kendi's break down of history and makes it easy to understand. Highly recommended for teens (and adults!). I learned many things a bout the history of racism from this book and was challenged by what I read.

HTML: Bestseller del New York Times y del USAToday Una exploracin oportuna y crucial del racismo y el antirracismo en Estados Unidos Este NO es un libro de historia. Este es un libro sobre el aqu y el ahora. Un libro que nos ayudar a comprender mejor por qu estamos donde estamos. Un libro sobre la raza. El concepto de raza siempre se ha utilizado para ganar y mantener el poder, para crear dinmicas que separan y silencian. Esta notable adaptacin del libro Stamped from the Beginning, del Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, ganador del National Book Award, revela la historia de las ideas racistas en Estados Unidos y nos inspira a construir un futuro antirracista. A travs de un recorrido histrico que va del pasado al presente, este libro nos muestra la raz de nuestras ideas respecto a los grupos raciales y por qu persiste el veneno del racismo. Adems, demuestra que, si bien las ideas racistas siempre han sido fciles de fabricar y distribuir, tambin pueden desacreditarse. Con la prosa apasionante y enrgica que lo caracteriza, el multipremiado autor Jason Reynolds no aclara en esta adaptacin muchas de las distintas formas en que se presentan las ideas racistas y nos ofrece herramientas que nos permiten identificarlas y eliminarlas en nuestra vida diaria. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

If a valid idea rests upon a solid grounding of facts then Stamped, by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi rests upon nothing more than sand. Within its pages, I found repeated generalizations. Inconvenient facts were glossed over and there were repeated factual errors.
I’ll start with a few generalizations. On page 174 where the authors discuss the 1968 presidential election, I read this.
“Wallace had taken a public stand for segregation the year before, and received 100,000 letters of support, mostly from northerners.
“Wait. What? Yep. Northerners. Sending in letters in support of Wallace’s stance for segregation. This proved painfully, that everyone—the North and South—hated Black people.” (Italics in original)
Readers are asked to believe that during the height of the civil rights movement, everyone in America hated Black people. On page 197 there is another generalization.
“And assimilationists were still trying to figure out why integration had failed. And the one thing that Black male assimilationists scholars kept arguing about was that Black masculinity was what was frightening to White men. That it was sexual jealousy that spawned systemic oppression…”
While the authors admit that some of this argument is ridiculous, they continue the theme until on page 199 where they state,
“And while the idea of Black masculinity was being challenged by Black women, White masculinity was being threatened, constantly, by Black men.”
Often when forced to admit inconvenient facts the authors gloss over them. On page 162, the authors say,
“Malcolm X was a minister in the Nation of Islam, a religious organization focused on the liberation of Black people through discipline, self-defense, community organization and a fortified understanding of who Black people were regardless of White people’s opinions.”
Multiple organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League, have labeled the Nation of Islam a hate group that promotes racial prejudice towards white people, and of promoting anti-Semitism. You can read more about that here. Another gloss over is this reference to the curse myth found on page 13.
“Noah orders his White sons not to have sex with their wives on the ark, and then tells them that the first child born after the flood would inherit the earth. When the evil, tyrannical, and hypersexual Ham (goes HAM and) has sex on the ark, God wills that Ham’s descendants will be dark and disgusting and the whole world will look at them as symbols of trouble.”
The quote above is attributed to George Best, a travel writer who died in the 1500s and Best may have written some version of the quote. However, the authors use it without mentioning that it is not found in any translation of the Bible and few people today are familiar with George Best or the curse myth.
On page 47 the authors get the reasons for the American Revolution wrong.
“Remember, America was made up of a bunch of Europeans, specifically British people. They still owned America. It was their home away from home (hence New England). The British disapproval [of slavery] applied pressure to the American slavery system, which was the American economic system, and in order for America to feel comfortable with continuing slavery, they had to get away from, break free of, Britain once and for all.”
At the time of the American Revolution in 1776 slavery was legal in Britain and its colonies. Britain didn’t outlaw slavery in England until 1807, thirty-one years after the revolution. Furthermore, slavery remained legal in the British colonies until 1833. By that time, many states had outlawed slavery. The premise that the American Revolution occurred to continue slavery is false.
There are many more inaccurate or questionable quotes that I have made available in PDF form.
In another article dealing with Critical Race Theory I said that most Americans hoped that the dream of Martin Luther King Jr., would be fulfilled, his children would grow up in a nation where they would “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” I concluded by saying that may not be possible because a new racism is spreading across America. The authors of Stamped see the world in three camps, segregationists are haters, assimilationists, such as Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Barak Obama, Clarence Thomas and many more are cowards. Antiracists, such as Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, and Angela Davis are the people who truly love.
Both Stamped and Stamped (For Kids) are built upon a foundation of inaccurate history and poor scholarship. Neither book should be in the tax-supported library of any city or school.
