“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.
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...
評分如果只依赖视觉,我们的世界山高云阔。在撞到透明的墙之前,所有人都以为自己是命运的主人。给苦难寻找理由是那么简单:被骗的是因为你贪,被强暴的是因为你骚,被盗的是因为不够警觉,被杀的是因为你在错误的时间出现在错误的地点。我们热衷于为苦难寻找逻辑,借此避开所有潜...
評分我写我思 (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...
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...
評分聽著Lemonade讀再閤適不過。lyrical and powerfully written. If you think it's just ranting, you just proved his point.
评分美國黑人文學和音樂裏傳達的靈魂深度來自世世代代的苦難。有Toni Morrison的範兒,句子像詩,也像rap歌詞。其實比James Baldwin的The Fire Next Time寫得好。
评分no shit!
评分像詩歌一樣的文字。A tale about the dreamers and their nation told through the perspective of the oppressed. Lots of deep thoughts and passion.
