In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis.
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden?
Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son - and listeners - the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder.
Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
©2015 Ta-Nehisi Coates (P)2015 Random House AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"Ta-Nehisi Coates's delivery of his own book is so memorable because the material is charged with emotion and a tone of self-disclosure. There's also a highly personal sense of connection between himself and his audience because of his frequent use of 'you.'" (AudioFile)
"The language of Between the World and Me, like Coates's journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive.... This is required reading." (Toni Morrison)

excellent
a short, easy, powerful listen. everyone could benefit from reading or listening to 'Between the World and Me'. over the last several years, I have been learning and unlearning a lot. but hearing the author's story through a personal letter to his son was compelling.

Beautifully written
I believe every parent and their child should read this book. No matter the race. Humanity and dignity is spoken through each story. I can relate to so much of this book. It was a beautiful, heartmoving read/ listen.

The kind of book you don’t want to finish. Poetic!
I don’t usually write book reviews but I think I owe it to the world to write this review. I had never witnessed this kind of writing until I found Tana-Heisi Coates. His writing is poetic, free, unbound by literary dogmas and a true reflection of how his mind works. I wish I could find more books written like this on every topic. If you want to really understand the struggle of humanity, not just of African Americans, you need to read this book. I have just finished it for the second time and I am sure I will coming back to it again in the future.

Absolutely loved this book!! So many powerful moments. Ta-Nehisi Coates does a spectacular job capturing the black experience and raises many thought provoking questions relating to race relations.

Wonderful and eye opening
"Racism is a visceral experience" and Ta-Nehisi Coates makes renders it beautifully; so beautifully one cannot look away. In a letter to his son, one is transported into the author's path to understand what is to be "Black" as a construction of what is "White". As a researcher, who teaches her pupils how perception is contructed from the inside out (yes!) this book was music to my ears. I am glad every time I read or listen to how one came to be. This is so much more. The question is, what will we do with this, will we wake up from the Dream so that we see more clearly and advance together?

Speechless!
This is a work of inspiring art! I hope that everyone truly gets the gravity of what's being read. Not filter it through our biases (if possible) and get the truth in this. Every culture needs to hear what's happening outside their walls.

Between the world and us
This resonates so much because it was and is my story growing up in Cleveland, OH, living in northern and southern California through my 20's to mid 40's. And now living in Canada. It's the same old White supremacy, different places though. Mr. Coates's story is my story, thus, it's us and not just me.
