"Språket i Mellan världen och mig är intuitivt, uttrycksfullt och befriande vackert. Och dess undersökning av den svarte mannens faror och förhoppningar är både insiktsfull och avslöjande. Det här är omistlig läsning." Toni Morrison Ta-Nehisi Coates prisbelönade bok är utformad som ett brev till sin son, i vilket han behandlar USA:s historiska och samtida syn på rasskillnader. Det är en konflikt som löpt genom århundradena, en konflikt som gått hand i hand med ett imperiums uppbyggnad. Hur kan en falsk världsbild tillåtas skada svarta kvinnor och män, trots ett enhälligt fördömande av slaveri och segregering? Men varför fortsätter då svarta kvinnor och män att hotas, fängslas och mördas? Hur är det att leva med en svart kropp i USA idag och är att förlika sig med historien det enda sättet att bli fri sina bojor? I sitt personliga brev försöker Ta-Nehisi Coates besvara dessa frågor genom att beskriva sin egen resa och om hur han fann sin plats i världen. Mellan världen och mig belönades med National Book Award med motiveringen: "Det här är ingen enkelspårig skildring av rasism utan en samlad attack på ett system som konsekvent förminskat svarta människor. Genom att väva in historien med den personliga berättelsen har Coates åstadkommit en oumbärlig text för varje fritt tänkande människa."

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.

An exceptional father-son story from the National Book Award–winning author of Between the World and Me about the reality that tests us, the myths that sustain us, and the love that saves us. Paul Coates was an enigmatic god to his sons: a Vietnam vet who rolled with the Black Panthers, an old-school disciplinarian and new-age believer in free love, an autodidact who launched a publishing company in his basement dedicated to telling the true history of African civilization. Most of all, he was a wily tactician whose mission was to carry his sons across the shoals of inner-city adolescence—and through the collapsing civilization of Baltimore in the Age of Crack—and into the safe arms of Howard University, where he worked so his children could attend for free. Among his brood of seven, his main challenges were Ta-Nehisi, spacey and sensitive and almost comically miscalibrated for his environment, and Big Bill, charismatic and all-too-ready for the challenges of the streets. The Beautiful Struggle follows their divergent paths through this turbulent period, and their father’s steadfast efforts—assisted by mothers, teachers, and a body of myths, histories, and rituals conjured from the past to meet the needs of a troubled present—to keep them whole in a world that seemed bent on their destruction. With a remarkable ability to reimagine both the lost world of his father’s generation and the terrors and wonders of his own youth, Coates offers readers a small and beautiful epic about boys trying to become men in black America and beyond. Praise for The Beautiful Struggle “I grew up in a Maryland that lay years, miles and worlds away from the one whose summers and sorrows Ta-Nehisi Coates evokes in this memoir with such tenderness and science; and the greatest proof of the power of this work is the way that, reading it, I felt that time, distance and barriers of race and class meant nothing. That in telling his story he was telling my own story, for me.”—Michael Chabon, bestselling author of The Yiddish Policemen’s Union and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay “Ta-Nehisi Coates is the young James Joyce of the hip hop generation.”—Walter Mosley
