Story
The construct of race has always been used to gain and keep power, to create dynamics that separate and silence. This remarkable reimagining of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning reveals the history of racist ideas in America, and inspires hope for an antiracist future. It takes you on a race journey from then to now, shows you why we feel how we feel, and why the poison of racism lingers. It also proves that while racist ideas have always been easy to fabricate and distribute, they can also be discredited.

A bag of chips. That's all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered.

It’s a time for romance and adventure. For prom night and ghost hunts. It’s a time for breaking up, for falling in love - for finding yourself. Stay up all night with these 13 short stories from best-selling and award-winning YA authors like Karen McManus, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nina LaCour, and Brandy Colbert, as they take listeners deep into these rarely seen, magical hours.
Publisher's Summary
A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year
Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Brendan Kiely starts a conversation with White kids about race in this “well-executed and long overdue” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) introduction to White privilege and why allyship is so vital.
Talking about racism can be hard, but...
Most kids of color grow up doing it. They have “The Talk” with their families - the honest talk about survival in a racist world.
But White kids don’t. They’re barely spoken to about race at all - and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. Not talking about White privilege doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The Other Talk begins this much-needed conversation for White kids. In an instantly relatable and deeply honest account of his own life, Brendan Kiely offers young listeners a way to understand one’s own White privilege and why allyship is so vital, so that we can all start doing our part - today.
