Postmodern Baby

"This book explains postmodernism to children ages 3 months to 3 years. When a baby hears a mob in the street chanting, "White Silence Is Violence", this book explains in step 2 of 9 that it means, "Use your words to talk about race. No one will see racism if we only stay silent. If we don't name racism, it won't stop being so violent. " Antiracist use of the word "violent" in this book is postmodern language that originated in late 20th century French philosophy (e. g. the relationship between Platonic forms and real objects is "violence"). Academic activists extended postmodern meanings of the word "violence" into identity politics, and this book "Antiracist Baby" is one result. Parents can learn more from these books: • "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity — and Why This Harms Everybody" (Helen Pluckrose & James Lindsay, 2020) • "The War on the West" (Douglas Murray, 2022) Tags: Postmodern, Postmodernist, Postmodernism"

Clever presentation

"I bought this book because Ted Cruz used it as an example of what he didn't think should be available to young children. I was curious, so I read it and loved it! What a great way to approach what could be a difficult subject for children."

Great book for kids!!!!

"I don’t like Ted Cruz, but when he brought up this book during the hearings of Judge Jackson I had to get this book for my future kids and my friend’s kids. This is a great book and I have Ted Cruz to thank for such a treasure. I will continue with my Ted Cruz book club monthly subscription."

Beautiful book

"My favorite part of this book is the beautiful illustrations. The writing is also lovely and an excellent age appropriate way to introduce racism and it's effects to young children."

— Staceymm (5/5)

Great book!

"Extensive research shows that hidden biases start as early as the age of 2 year old. For everyone who has given this book a 1 star, I suggest tuning into your hidden biases because they’re there. We all have them. Mr. Abraham is speaking on instilling anti-racism as soon as possible in order to overturn these oppressive system and dismantle white supremacy!"

Simply insane

"Reads like something out of Stalinist indoctinatory material."

Nanny Approved!

"As a nanny of 24-years, I recommend this book. It's a great way to teach babies & toddlers about racism and how to be antiracist. I will be reading it will all of my nanny kids & gifting it to others. As for the one star reviews, haters are gonna hate. It's a shame that they are unable to see what needs done to make racism a thing of the past. But, I have faith that we will get there. Keep fighting the good fight, antiracist babies, antiracist parents & antiracist nannies!"

For Those Who Want to TeachTheir Kids to Be Better

"Clearly most of the recent ""one star"" reviews stem from trolls who had no interest in the book, it's purpose, or reading it in general. I hate those kinds of reviews that serve no real purpose. That said, if you are in fact looking for ways to create a more equitable society for future generations and make your own child aware of these issues in the process: add this one to your child's book shelf."

Garbage

"What an utterly waste of paper! Complete garbage from front to back. I’m disappointed that any book store would sell this on their shelves!"
