Structure

Stamped From The Beginning is divided into five parts. It also features a prologue and epilogue. The paperback edition, which was used to write this guide, also includes a new preface not published in the original hardcover.

The preface serves to provide context to the new political climate which emerged after the publication of the hardcover with the presidential election of Donald Trump. This addition helps readers contextualize the rest of the material in a new context. The prologue and epilogue offer readers insights into Kendi's philosophies on race as well as his motivation for writing this book.

The epilogue reflects primarily on the present day and looks to the future of the antiracist movement beyond the scope of the book.
