Ibram X. Kendi in Conversation

Ibram X. Kendi is one of the world’s foremost historians of racism and a leading antiracist scholar. Eleven of his seventeen books have been New York Times bestsellers, including the international bestseller How to Be an Antiracist. He makes a rare appearance in Vancouver for one night only with his latest pivotal work of nonfiction, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age. This highly anticipated new work charts how the “great replacement theory” has become a dominant political idea of our time. In this unmissable conversation with Terri Givens—Professor of Political Science at UBC and the bestselling author of Radical Empathy: Finding a Path to Bridging Racial Divides—Kendi offers an unsettling but indispensable global history of how great replacement theory brought humanity into this authoritarian age—and how we can free ourselves from it.
