Ta-Nehisi Coates is a former staff writer at The Village Voice and Time and has contributed to The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and numerous other publications. He lives in New York City.
“This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.”
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’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—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.

评分 评分 评分我写我思 (一) 最初打开这本书,是基于“这是一本写给儿子的三封信”。作为一名新手麻麻,我想知道父母对于孩子应该有什么的期待,未曾想这是一本对于一个族群的无力,对于现实残酷世界浓重的悲伤。 孩子,我是如此的爱你,可恰恰是因为我爱你,我不得不告诉你真实的世界是...
评分世界,是白人的世界,是崇尚民主与仁慈上帝的世界,这个世界的名字叫“美国”。 这个世界的另一面充满着各种异端的行为,暴力、毒品、强奸……受害者是我,是我们,是想要在美国得以“自由生活”的黑人。 可以说,这本书的内容就是三封信,是塔那西斯·科茨写给儿子的三封信。...
听着Lemonade读再合适不过。lyrical and powerfully written. If you think it's just ranting, you just proved his point.
评分unshackled from the body
评分学院里组织读书会讨论这本书……作者花了很大篇幅讲失去身体的恐惧,讲黑人的身体如何被压迫被当成燃料来推动美国的历史进程……这种身体观对我来说非常陌生,因为我的身体观早就被现代医学格式化了,因为我不曾像在巴尔的摩长大的作者那样在7-11门口目睹随意的枪击……不过这一次UA的事情,让我开始想象到那种脖子被人用靴子踩住的压迫感……
评分就是一篇大作文,乏善可陈。
评分开头立意很不错,怎么后来越来越啰嗦了呢
