Ibram X. Kendi : The Biography of Ibram X. Kendi: America's Preeminent Antiracist Activist of the 21st Century

University Press returns with another short and captivating biography of one of history's most compelling figures, Ibram X. Kendi.

Ibram X. Kendi has emerged as America's preeminent antiracist activist of the 21st century. Using his platforms as a renowned author, professor, and historian, he has argued that antiracism should be focused squarely on changing public policy, rather than on changing people's attitudes or beliefs.

Born in Queens, New York on August 13, 1982, Ibram Henry Rogers was raised by Christian parents, imbibed liberation theology, attended a high school named after a Confederate Civil War general, earned bachelor's and master's and doctorates degrees in African American Studies, critically reflected on his own racial prejudices, met his wife on Match.com, published 14 academic essays, authored six New York Times best-selling books, survived stage 4 colon cancer, and was named one of TIME magazine's "100 Most Influential People of 2020."

This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who is changing the world in a way that no one else can.
