From 2015 to 2017, Kendi was an assistant professor at the University of Florida history department's African American Studies program.[5][7][8]

In 2017, Kendi became a professor of history and international relations at the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) and School of International Service (SIS) at American University in Washington, D.C.[9] In September 2017, Kendi founded the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, serving as its executive director.[1] In June 2020, it was announced that Kendi would join Boston University as a professor of history.[10] Upon accepting the position, Kendi agreed to move the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University to Boston University, where he will serve as the founding director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research.[11][12]

Writing

Kendi at the 2019 Texas Book Festival

Kendi has published essays in both books and academic journals, including The Journal of African American History, Journal of Social History, Journal of Black Studies, Journal of African American Studies, and The Sixties: A Journal of History, Politics and Culture. Kendi is also a contributing writer at The Atlantic.[14]

He is the author of six books:

In 2016, Kendi won the National Book Award for Nonfiction for Stamped from the Beginning, which was published by Nation Books.[17] He was the youngest author to ever win the prize.[18] Titled after an 1860 speech given by Jefferson Davis at the U.S. Senate,[4][19] the book builds around the stories of historical figures Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, and W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as the current figure, Angela Davis.[1]

How to Be an Antiracist

A New York Times #1 Best Seller in 2020, How to Be an Antiracist is Kendi's most popular work thus far.[20] Professor Jeffrey C. Stewart called it the "most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind".[21] Afua Hirsch praised the book's introspection and wrote that it was relatable in the context of ongoing political events.[22] In contrast, Andrew Sullivan wrote that the book's arguments were simplistic and criticized Kendi's idea of transferring government oversight to an unelected Department of Antiracism.[23] Kelefa Sanneh noted Kendi's "sacred fervor" in battling racism, but wondered if his definition of racism was so capacious and outcome-dependent as to risk losing its power.[24] John McWhorter criticized the book as being simple, and challenged Kendi's claim that all racial disparities are necessarily due to racism.[25]

Personal life

In 2013, Kendi married Sadiqa Edmonds Kendi, a pediatric emergency medicine physician,[1] in Jamaica. Both sets of parents participated in a symbolic sand ceremony.[30] The wedding ceremony ended with a naming ceremony of their new last name, "Kendi", which means "the loved one" in the language of the Meru people of Kenya.[30] Kendi changed his middle name to Xolani, a Xhosa and Zulu word for "peace".[16][3]

In January 2018, a colonoscopy indicated that Kendi had cancer. A further test revealed that he had stage 4 colon cancer that had spread into his liver.[31] After six months of chemotherapy and surgery that summer, Kendi was declared cancer free.[32]

Kendi has been a vegan since at least 2015.[33]
