“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.
Institutionalized racism. 不知道是不是我期待值太高。感覺沒想象的好,略偏激,略意氣用事。本來指望後麵能有更成熟更思辨的見解,也未見到。優點是確實powerful, 語句讀起來就像念rap, 韻味十足。
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。
評分哭瞭
評分Sobering.
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...
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...
評分我在读这本书的时候,有一种非常奇妙的体验:当我不断翻页的时候,提醒自己不应该相信书中所写;可是当我合上这本书之后,忍不住又重读了一遍。 《在世界与我之间》是一位父亲写给儿子的三封信,作者塔那西斯是美国著名的黑人作家,麦克阿瑟天才奖得主,《Between the World an...
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 ...
