Una exploracion oportuna y crucial del racismo y el antirracismo en Estados Unidos

Este NO es un libro de historia.
Este es un libro sobre el aqui y el ahora.
Un libro que nos ayudara a comprender mejor por que estamos donde estamos.
Un libro sobre la raza.

El concepto de raza siempre se ha utilizado para ganar y mantener el poder, para crear dinamicas que separan y silencian. Esta notable adaptacion del libro Stamped from the Beginning, del Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, ganador del National Book Award, revela la historia de las ideas racistas en Estados Unidos y nos inspira a construir un futuro antirracista. A traves de un recorrido historico que va del pasado al presente, este libro nos muestra la raiz de nuestras ideas respecto a los grupos raciales y por que persiste el veneno del racismo. Ademas, demuestra que, si bien las ideas racistas siempre han sido faciles de fabricar y distribuir, tambien pueden desacreditarse.

Con la prosa apasionante y energica que lo caracteriza, el multipremiado autor Jason Reynolds nos aclara en esta adaptacion muchas de las distintas formas en que se presentan las ideas racistas y nos ofrece herramientas que nos permiten identificarlas y eliminarlas en nuestra vida diaria.

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.
