Stamped from the Beginning is the perfect read to end 2020

Stamped from the Beginning is the perfect read to end 2020

Stamped from the Beginning by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is the book you didn’t know you needed to read if you are working towards being an antiracist. At times dense with history and more than a bit confusing, its overlying message of racism as the founding sentiment of the country is as uncomfortable as it is important. The care with which Dr. Kendi presents his findings and the honesty he expresses…

Thank you to @netgalley @perseus_books and @boldtypebooks for the free review ARC of Stakes Is High: Life After the American Dream by Mychal Denzel Smith. This book is a must read for anyone who still has questions about prison reform, defunding the police, and what the implications of “the American Dream” really are. While this book was not written for me as a white woman, it is still so important to read, learn, understand, change, act, and speak up. This is the second book I have read by Mychal Denzel Smith, and I am again so grateful for his eloquent words and profound insight into who we are as a nation and what has to change.

.

Synopsis from the publisher: The events of the past decade have forced us to reckon with who we are and who we want to be. We have been invested in a set of beliefs about our American identity: our exceptionalism, the inevitable rightness of our path, the promise that hard work and determination will carry us to freedom. But in Stakes Is High, Mychal Denzel Smith confronts the shortcomings of these stories -- and with the American Dream itself -- and calls on us to live up to the principles we profess but fail to realize.In a series of incisive essays, Smith exposes the stark contradictions at the heart of American life, holding all of us, individually and as a nation, to account. We've gotten used to looking away, but the fissures and casual violence of institutional oppression are ever-present. There is a future that is not as grim as our past. In this profound work, Smith helps us envision it with care, honesty, and imagination.
