About This Book
Ibram X. Kendi traces the history of racist ideas in America through five intellectual figures — Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Angela Davis — arguing that racist policies produce racist ideas rather than the reverse. Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction, shortlisted for the NBCC.
