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.

New York TimesBestseller Baratunde Thurston’s comedic memoir chronicles his coming-of-blackness and offers practical advice on everything from “How to Be the Black Friend” to “How to Be the (Next) Black President”. Have you ever been called “too black” or “not black enough”? Have you ever befriended or worked with a black person? Have you ever heard of black people? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is for you. It is also for anyone who can read, possesses intelligence, loves to laugh, and has ever felt a distance between who they know themselves to be and what the world expects. Raised by a pro-black, Pan-Afrikan single mother during the crack years of 1980s Washington, DC, and educated at Sidwell Friends School and Harvard University, Baratunde Thurston has more than over thirty years' experience being black. Now, through stories of his politically inspired Nigerian name, the heroics of his hippie mother, the murder of his drug-abusing father, and other revelatory black details, he shares with readers of all colors his wisdom and expertise in how to be black. “As a black woman, this book helped me realize I’m actually a white man.”—Patton Oswalt

What is my motivation for this social commentary? I might commence with the notion that my reasons are altruistic, but that would not be totally true. I might add that I am driven vindictively to attack some institutions and their representatives --maybe. Or, I just want to sell books and become affluent --to a degree this is true, but not the whole story Let's look at altruism. I do dream of having the money to donate to my favorite causes. I am fascinated with the world of news presented by Al Jazeera, European Journal, Newsline, National Public Radio, and British Broadcasting Corporation. The news from these sources is not the Newsglib (chatty exchanges) between newsreaders or the Glamor Political Opinion Forum that consists of commentary espoused by men, who may or may not be attractive, and by attractive, well heeled females. These newsreaders have connections to a political movement and parrot the party line from Fox News on the right or MSNBC on the left. I find the news more credible if the newsreader looks like someone I know: sans cosmetics for the studio lights. The stories from Al Jazeera or the BBC expose world conditions that evoke strong responses. There is war close up; children starving in Syria; women and children being raped by soldiers in the never ending African conflicts. Inasmuch, I am driven by altruism to set up educational funds for the children of Africa, especially Somalia, Mali, and the Congo. I would try to help the women of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the Muslim/Taliban world arrive at some type of self-actualization. It must be terrible knowing that you live in a world of determinism: your life is planned by the social and religious structures.
