“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.
从头卖惨到底。很难看。
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Sobering.
评分Institutionalized racism. 不知道是不是我期待值太高。感觉没想象的好,略偏激,略意气用事。本来指望后面能有更成熟更思辨的见解,也未见到。优点是确实powerful, 语句读起来就像念rap, 韵味十足。
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。...
评分这本书是一个黑人父亲写给儿子的三封信。在他年轻的时候,认为黑人就相当于赤身裸体面对世界的狂风暴雨,在枪、拳头、刀、毒品、强奸和疾病面前毫无遮掩。这样的赤裸裸恰恰是政策所有意追求的结果,法律并没有保护他们。 黑人种族在社会中的弱小,比我们想象的还要脆弱,读起这...
评分我英文不好,只能读译著。所以,我不知道是翻译的原因还是我的阅读水平有限,亦或是作者本身的写作特点导致,这本由作者写给自己孩子的三封信组成的书读起来很拗口,内容也略显混乱。本以为这是一部针砭美国时弊,了解美国社会种族主义成因的著作,但我读后感觉更加迷茫。我没...
评分这本书以给儿子的信件形式,他从个人经历角度解读了种族的问题。成长于巴尔的摩,他独特的解读角度是: 谁拥有我们的身体。某些种族的人常常面临着身体被夺走的危险。而这种时刻存在的恐惧 影响了他分析种族的性格和遭遇。书中偏后有一小段描写了他独自在巴黎的公园长椅上 感受...
评分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 ...
