“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 评分让我把这本书从头到尾读完的契机是电影《伸冤人2》。 续集不好拍,《伸冤人2》在国外媒体中口碑一般,豆瓣评分目前只有6.9分。但本片并非一无所长,前特工麦考尔在第一部电影中留下不少谜团,而编剧和导演在第二部中花了心思让这个角色变得更加立体丰满。一般而言,系列作品/电...
评分像诗歌一样的文字。A tale about the dreamers and their nation told through the perspective of the oppressed. Lots of deep thoughts and passion.
