Stamped from the Beginning
Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi is a dense, award-winning history of racist ideas in the United States, tracing how laws, theology, science, and culture have been used to justify inequality from the 1600s to today. Rather than treating racism as a series of isolated incidents, it shows how influential thinkers shaped narratives that still echo in modern policy and discourse. The prose is rich and demanding, making it best for older teens and adults ready for sustained, antiracist study. Many homeschooling families pair it with note-taking, discussion, and slower reading, treating the book as a semester- or year-long spine for deep U.S. history work.
