UCLA Professor of History Brenda Stevenson joins historian and 2016 National Book Award winner Ibram X. Kendi in conversation. Despite myths of a postracial world, racism is alive and well. In Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, an “engrossing and relentless intellectual history of prejudice in America” (Washington Post), Kendi traces the arc of antiblack racist ideas from 15th-century Portugal to the founding of the United States, arguing that we must confront the history of racist ideas in order to grapple with racism’s insidious hold on America.
