Ibram X. Kendi's book Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America was released in 2016. Kendi, a Boston University Professor and founder of the BU Center for Antiracist Research, was awarded the National Book Award in nonfiction for the title.It's also close to 600-pages by a man who can certainly run intellectual circles around me.

Our review: Parents say ( 7 ): Kids say ( 8 ): Jason Reynolds' extraordinary gifts with language make reading this history with commentary feel almost like listening to a freestyle rap artist.

Some of the words are hard, like "polygenesis", which make it a good candidate as a read with me book for upper elementary and lower middle school (5th, 6th, and 7th). Families of all types would benefit from reading and discussing this book together. People of all ages and types would benefit from reading this book.
