How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research into the scientific literature, his experiences as a father and reflections on his own difficult experiences as a student ultimately changed his mind. In the deeply accessible mode of his international bestseller How To Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative to argue that it is only by teaching our children about the reality of racism and the myth of race from the earliest age that we can actually protect them and preserve their innocence and joy. Along the way, he shows that an antiracist society is one that safeguards all children. And building that society means all of us participating in the effort to raise young people as antiracists.

Four Hundred Souls
A Community History of African America, 1619-2019
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A chorus of extraordinary voices tells the epic story of the four-hundred-year journey of African Americans from 1619 to the present—edited by Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, and Keisha N. Blain, author of Set the World on Fire .FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post, Town & Country, Ms. magazine, BookPage, She Reads, BookRiot, Booklist • “A vital addition to [the] curriculum on race in America . . . a gateway to the solo works of all the voices in Kendi and Blain’s impressive choir.”— The Washington Post “From journalist Hannah P. Jones on Jamestown’s first slaves to historian Annette Gordon-Reed’s portrait of Sally Hemings to the seductive cadences of poets Jericho Brown and Patricia Smith, Four Hundred Souls weaves a tapestry of unspeakable suffering and unexpected transcendence.”— The Oprah MagazineThe story begins in 1619—a year before the Mayflower —when the White Lion disgorges “some 20-and-odd Negroes” onto the shores of Virginia, inaugurating the African presence in what would become the United States. It takes us to the present, when African Americans, descendants of those on the White Lion and a thousand other routes to this country, continue a journey defined by inhuman oppression, visionary struggles, stunning achievements, and millions of ordinary lives passing through extraordinary history. Four Hundred Souls is a unique one-volume “community” history of African Americans. The editors, Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each of whom takes on a five-year period of that four-hundred-year span. The writers explore their periods through a variety of historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, and fiery polemics. They approach history from various through the eyes of towering historical icons or the untold stories of ordinary people; through places, laws, and objects. While themes of resistance and struggle, of hope and reinvention, course through the book, this collection of diverse pieces from ninety different minds, reflecting ninety different perspectives, fundamentally deconstructs the idea that Africans in America are a monolith—instead it unlocks the startling range of experiences and ideas that have always existed within the community of Blackness. This is a history that illuminates our past and gives us new ways of thinking about our future, written by the most vital and essential voices of our present.

Die wahre Geschichte des Rassismus in Amerika
Wenn Sie Amerikaner sind und schwarz, dann ist ihre Chance, von der Polizei erschossen zu werden, höher als wenn sie weiß sind. 21-mal höher. Obwohl die USA sich rühmen, ein post-rassistisches Land zu sein und sogar einen schwarzen Präsidenten gewählt haben, sitzt der Rassismus tief. Dieses zornige Buch ist die Geschichte einer nationalen Schande – so intensiv, dass es weh tut. In einer rasanten Tour de Force erzählt der junge amerikanische Historiker Ibram X. Kendi die wahre Geschichte des Rassismus in Amerika – von den Puritanern bis zu Black Lives Matter. Er zeigt, dass der Rassismus nicht nur aus den trüben Quellen von Ignoranz und Hass aufsteigt, sondern von Anfang an dazu diente, Diskriminierung zu rechtfertigen und plausibel zu machen. Sein Buch führt uns durch eine erschreckende Geschichte voller Gewalt, Dummheit und Arroganz. Die Vorstellung, dassSchwarze minderwertig sind und selber schuld an ihrer schlechten Lage, hat sich so tief in die kulturelle DNA der Vereinigten Staaten eingeschrieben, dass der Rassismus bis heute allgegenwärtig ist – das ist die bittere Bilanz dieses brillanten Buches.
