“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.
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.

評分如果說前麵2/3能用語言和獨特視角打四星的話,最後那段在巴黎和自己與世界和解把整本書提高到瞭五星。很多寫種族問題的作者都最後留下一個巨大的疑惑,導緻整本書變成瞭抱怨和逼逼,這本書沒有,給瞭完美的結局很棒。以及讓我想起瞭很早之前讀過的英國早期殖民小說,講非洲王子變成奴隸最後自殺的,這本書裏麵Prince Jones的故事讓我覺得吧不管是什麼時候黑人都對自己的身體沒有控製。書評on the way。
評分基本進瞭美國各大年度最佳書榜。從The case for reparations就很愛他的寫作,充滿瞭力量。Institutional racism和對於black bodies的侵犯社會學傢寫瞭很多,可鮮有那麼觸動人心的語言(學術規範造成的壁壘固然是原因之一)。Coates通過他極強的寫作和語言能力,從自身經曆齣發,又不囿於自身,很有感染力。
評分學院裏組織讀書會討論這本書……作者花瞭很大篇幅講失去身體的恐懼,講黑人的身體如何被壓迫被當成燃料來推動美國的曆史進程……這種身體觀對我來說非常陌生,因為我的身體觀早就被現代醫學格式化瞭,因為我不曾像在巴爾的摩長大的作者那樣在7-11門口目睹隨意的槍擊……不過這一次UA的事情,讓我開始想象到那種脖子被人用靴子踩住的壓迫感……
評分Excessive rhetoric, while lacking logic and objectivity - too much anger, maybe hatred, made my reading less comfortable. Credit for the author's honesty, which made the book a pitiful lesson on reality.
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。...
評分 評分在我接触了优质的中国家庭之后我发现,这些父亲与母亲在对待自己孩子时更温柔,更民主,更加爱,也许你要说谁家的父母不爱自己的孩子呢?这没有可比性。不,我要告诉你的是对于成长期的孩子来说温柔的爱与粗暴的爱,显然温柔的爱如冬日暖阳,如暮春微风是滋养儿童成长的一片舒...
