Description
Despǔs de la elecci̤n de Barack Obama, muchos declararon el comienzo de una era post-racial. Sin embargo, el pensamiento racista, m̀s sofisticado e insidioso que nunca, permanece profundamente arraigado en la sociedad estadounidense. Como sostiene Ibram X. Kendi, la voz m̀s influyente en la lucha antirracista y uno de los l̕deres actuales del movimiento # BlackLivesMatter, aunque las ideas racistas se desarrollan, difunden y consagran con mucha facilidad, tambǐn pueden ser desacreditadas. Y esto es lo que propone con Marcados al Nacer, una obra maestra ganadora del Premio Nacional del Libro que derriba la bien establecida idea de que el racismo es una consecuencia directa de la ignorancia o el odio. En esta investigaci̤n hist̤rica profundamente documentada, Kendi nos muestra c̤mo las mentes m̀s brillantes de Estados Unidos de diferentes ̌pocas se han esforzado por crear y perpetuar instituciones racistas y un sistema basado en pol̕ticas discriminatorias, y luego generar ideas y actitudes racistas que justifican la esclavitud y la segregaci̤n ex post facto. Al hablar abiertamente sobre el racismo y su turbia historia, este libro nos brinda las herramientas necesarias para desenmascararlo, y se convierte en una lectura indispensable en estos tiempos.
Description
Following the election of Barack Obama, many declared the beginning of a post-racial era. Yet racist thinking, more sophisticated and insidious than ever, remains deeply ingrained in American society. As Ibram X. Kendi - the most influential voice in the anti-racist struggle and one of the current leaders of the # BlackLivesMatter movement - argues, although racist ideas develop, spread and enshrine very easily, they can also be discredited. And this is what he proposes with Marcados al Nacer, a National Book Award-winning masterpiece that demolishes the well-established idea that racism is a direct consequence of ignorance or hatred. In this deeply documented historical investigation, Kendi shows us how America's brightest minds from different eras have striven to create and perpetuate racist institutions and a system based on discriminatory policies, then generate racist ideas and attitudes that justify ex post facto slavery and segregation. By speaking openly about racism and its murky history, this book provides us with the necessary tools to unmask it, and it becomes an indispensable reading in these times.
