Between the World and Me

Description

In the 150 years since the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment (the abolition of slavery), the story of race and America has remained a brutally simple one. It is the story of the black body, exploited to create the country's foundational wealth, violently segregated to unite a nation after a civil war and, today, still disproportionately threatened, locked up and killed in the streets.

How can America reckon with its fraught racial history? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates' attempt to answer that question.
