KENDI is the author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, which spent several weeks as a New York Times Bestseller and won the coveted National Book Award. He is both the founder and director of Antiracist Research at American University. He and his wife are both cancer survivors. This book is a follow-up to the lessons taught in his definitive history. It teaches how to be aware of racism (racist policy) while clearly defining its origins and definitions. Ibram uses his own life as an example of how to deal with our own internal racism, whether we have a white body or a black body. His goal is to depict racism as a system of power born centuries ago and details the path towards an anti-racist society, and how antiracism is a better goal than non-racist. Ibram illustrates this point by mirroring America's struggle with race with his personal battle for self-identity and his family's fights against cancer.
