“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.
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……
評分非常有感染力和辯說力的一本書。
評分“they made us into a race, we made ourselves into a people”
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Between the world and me This is a book about black race in America. It has been included in so many "best books of the year" lists, and NYT alone had four reviews on it, let alone others. I am always half interested in the race relations, and African-Amer...
評分Beautifully written. I makes me aspire to talk in this beautiful way (and a bit frustrated, event reticent when I failed to.) The frustration also comes from the harsh reality Coates depicted. I felt dismal after reading the book, by the oblivion of human ...
