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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBetween the World and Me \u003c\/i\u003eis 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, \u003ci\u003eBetween the World and Me \u003c\/i\u003eclearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTa-Nehisi Coates\u003c\/b\u003e is a national correspondent for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.
