Ibram X. Kendi Bücher

Der Autor Ibram X. Kendi, Historiker und Professor, argumentiert, dass jeder Mensch jederzeit die Entscheidung treffen kann, antirassistisch zu handeln. In seinem Bestseller reflektiert er über seine eigene Vergangenheit als Rassist und betont, dass Neutralität im Rassismus-Diskurs keine Lösung darstellt. Kendi bietet ein neues Verständnis von Rassismus und fordert dazu auf, aktiv gegen Rassismus vorzugehen, da es nur die beiden Zustände rassistisch oder antirassistisch gibt. Sein Werk ermutigt zur aktiven Teilnahme am Kampf gegen Rassismus.

Der Bestseller von Ibram X. Kendi und Keisha N.

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.

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 and Keisha N. Blain. This vital addition to the curriculum on race in America serves as a gateway to the solo works of the contributors. The narrative begins in 1619, with the arrival of “some 20-and-odd Negroes” in Virginia, marking the start of the African presence in what would become the United States. It extends to the present, chronicling a journey defined by oppression, visionary struggles, and remarkable achievements. The editors have assembled ninety brilliant writers, each tackling a five-year period within this four-hundred-year span. Through historical essays, short stories, personal vignettes, and polemics, the contributors explore their periods from various perspectives, highlighting both iconic figures and the untold stories of ordinary people. Themes of resistance, struggle, hope, and reinvention permeate the collection, which deconstructs the notion of a monolithic Black experience. Instead, it reveals the diverse range of experiences and ideas within the African American community. This history not only illuminates the past but also offers new ways of thinking about the future, articulated by some of the most vital voices of our time.

"A comprehensive history of anti-black racism focuses on the lives of five major players in American history, including Cotton Mather and Thomas Jefferson, and highlights the debates that took place between assimilationists and segregationists and between racists and antiracists"--

A timely, crucial, and empowering exploration of racism--and antiracism--in America This is NOT a history book. This is a book about the here and now. A book to help us better understand why we are where we are. A book about race. The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited. Through a gripping, fast-paced, and energizing narrative written by beloved award-winner Jason Reynolds, this book shines a light on the many insidious forms of racist ideas--and on ways readers can identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their daily lives.

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.
