This chapter book edition of the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller by luminaries Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds is an essential introduction to the history of racism and antiracism in America

RACE. Uh-oh. The R-word. But actually talking about race is one of the most important things to learn how to do.

Adapted from the award-winning, bestselling Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You, this book takes readers on a journey from present to past and back again. Kids will discover where racist ideas came from, identify how they impact America today, and meet those who have fought racism with antiracism. Along the way, they'll learn how to identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their own lives.

Ibram X. Kendi's research, Jason Reynolds's and Sonja Cherry-Paul's writing, and Rachelle Baker's art come together in this vital read, enhanced with a glossary, timeline, and more.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Exhilarating, excellent, necessary.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A wonderfully accessible version of the already seminal work for teens.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Pe’Tehn Raighn-Kem Jackson hits it out of the park with her lively and engaging reading…Jackson’s relatable performance increases the accessibility of this important, sobering, and inspiring work for young listeners. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
Sheer brilliance....An empowering, transformative read. Bravo. —Jewell Parker Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Boys
Teens are often searching for their place in the world, in Stamped, Reynolds gives context to where we are, how we got here, and reminds young people-and all of us-that we have a choice to make about who we want to be. This unapologetic telling of the history of racism in our nation is refreshingly simple and deeply profound. This is the history book I needed as a teen. —Renée Watson, New York Timesbestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of Piecing Me Together
Jason Reynolds has the amazing ability to make words jump off the page. Told with passion, precision, and even humor, Stamped is a true story-a living story-that everyone needs to know. —Steve Sheinkin, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of Bomb and Born to Fly
The R-word: Racism. Some tuck tail and run from it. Others say it's no longer a thing. But Dr. Kendi breaks it down, and Jason Reynolds makes it easy to understand. Mark my words: This book will change everything. —Nic Stone, #1 bestselling author of Dear Martin
If knowledge is power, this book will make you more powerful than you've ever been before. —Ibi Zoboi, author of the National Book Award finalist American Street
Reading this compelling not-a-history book is like finding a field guide to American racism, allowing you to quickly identify racist ideas when you encounter them in the wild. —Dashka Slater, author of The 57 Bus
Reynolds's engaging, clear prose shines a light on difficult and confusing subjects....This is no easy feat. —The New York Times Book Review
the must-read book of the moment...potent and provocative —San Francisco Chronicle
* "Readers who want to truly understand how deeply embedded racism is in the very fabric of the U.S., its history, and its systems will come away educated and enlightened. Worthy of inclusion in every home and in curricula and libraries everywhere. Impressive and much needed. —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* "An epic feat... More than merely a young reader's adaptation of Kendi's landmark work, Stamped does a remarkable job of tying together disparate threads while briskly moving through its historical narrative. —Bookpage, starred review
* "Required reading for everyone, especially those invested in the future of young people in America. —Booklist, starred review
* "Reynolds and Kendi eloquently challenge the common narrative attached to U.S. history. This adaptation, like the 2016 adult title, will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact. Highly recommended for libraries serving middle and high school students. —School Library Journal, starred review
* "Eye-opening...this engaging overview offers readers lots to think about and should spark important conversations about this timely topic. —School Library Connection, starred review
* "Reynolds (Look Both Ways) lends his signature flair to remixing Kendi's award-winning Stamped from the Beginning...Told impressively economically, loaded with historical details that connect clearly to current experiences, and bolstered with suggested reading and listening selected specifically for young readers, Kendi and Reynolds's volume is essential, meaningfully accessible reading. —Publishers Weekly, starred review
Thorough and educational…fresh and conversational... —TIME Magazine
