A review by skshenanigans
We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates

I love a collection of essays and notes for reflection that help me follow the evolution of the author, and this was a timely option. Just a week before the 2020 election felt like the right time to reflect on the presidency that came before. 

The last few essays, the meat and potatoes of the book, really helped me reckon with how we went from Obama to Trump and the unique circumstances of the Obama years.
