In Century of Ambivalence, Ibram X. Kendi takes us on a sweeping and provocative journey through the American history of race. From the colonial era to the present day, Kendi explores the complex and often contradictory ways that Americans have thought about race, from the founding fathers to the civil rights movement and beyond.
Kendi argues that America has always been a nation of paradoxes when it comes to race. On the one hand, the country was founded on the principles of equality and freedom. On the other hand, it has a long history of slavery, segregation, and discrimination.
This ambivalence has shaped the way that Americans have thought about race and racism. For example, many Americans believe that racism is a thing of the past, but Kendi shows that it is still alive and well today. He points to the fact that black Americans are more likely to be arrested, convicted, and imprisoned than white Americans, even for the same crimes. They are also more likely to live in poverty and to die from preventable diseases.
Kendi argues that we cannot understand the present without understanding the past. He shows how the racist ideas that were developed in the colonial era still shape the way that we think about race today. For example, the idea that black people are inferior to white people was used to justify slavery and segregation. This idea continues to be used today to justify racial discrimination in housing, employment, and education.
Century of Ambivalence is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the history of race in America and its continuing legacy today. Kendi's clear and concise writing style makes complex topics accessible to a wide range of readers. He also provides a wealth of historical evidence to support his arguments.
If you are interested in learning more about the history of race in America, I highly recommend reading Century of Ambivalence. It is a powerful and important book that will change the way you think about race.
