In a world craving change, "Stamped" by Jason Reynolds emerges as a beacon of enlightenment, guiding readers through the murky waters of racism and antiracism in America. This is not your typical history book; it is a vibrant, urgent call to understand our present by confronting our past. Reynolds, with the finesse of a seasoned storyteller, remixes Dr. Ibram X.

This book is a daring exploration of the roots of racist ideas and their pervasive impact on American society, crafted to ignite the minds of readers and inspire a collective movement towards an antiracist future. "Stamped" takes its readers on an enthralling journey from the inception of racist ideologies to the present day, challenging them to question how these ideas have shaped the world around us. Jason Reynolds masterfully dismantles complex concepts with ease, making this profound topic accessible to all. Through a compelling blend of history, analysis, and storytelling, Reynolds not only exposes the insidious nature of racism but also empowers readers to identify and eradicate it in their daily lives. Engaging and thought-provoking, "Stamped" is an indispensable guide for those seeking to understand the true nature of racism and take part in dismantling its influence on society.

The book I wish all Americans could read together. - Laurie Halse Anderson
We can't attack a thing we don't know. That's dangerous. And...foolish. It would be like trying to chop down a tree from the top of it. If we understand how the tree works, how the trunk and roots are where the power lies, and how gravity is on our side, we can attack it, each of us with small axes, and change the face of the the forest.
— Jason Reynolds, Stamped
