Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi

"Stamped traces the history of racism and the many political, literary, and philosophical narratives that have been used to justify slavery, oppression, and genocide. Framed through the ideologies and thoughts of segregationists, assimilationists, and antiracists throughout history, the book demonstrates that the “construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, whether financially or politically,” and that this power has been used to systemically and systematically oppress Black people in the United States for more than four hundred years." (Goodreads.com)

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You is a remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning. The audiobook is a quick listen with fun musical breaks after each chapter. Stamped is appropriate for teens and adults and is a great educational tool for teachers. It fills in the gaps that have been left out of secondary education for far too long.
