My book is to be there for other people. It has something for everyone to be interested in. My philosophies are about the difference between right from wrong and if the world knew right from wrong it would be perfect. My economy idea can help to make that happen. My philosophies can help people to see and pay attention to both sides of a conversation and solve the problem of knowing the difference between the sides in a conversation. This tells you what is the same or what is alike between the sides and what is different. The difference between the sides. Some of my writings are of humor and show a sense of humor and some of the others are deep. The way the way that they go about what they are saying like my philosophies are abstract and we can learn from them. My songs talk about myself sometimes. They relate to my own life in that who I am, but also what I would like to do for others in making their lives secure. In every way, with themselves as a person but also how happy they can be financially. In other words, how stable their lives can be in the decisions that you make. This can make life happy and healthy in every way. Let others know what my life has been like and how important it is for others to follow my example of how all of us can do the right thing and make right choices as much as possible.

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.
