brontejane 's review for:
We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
This was a very deep book. There were times that I didn't feel smart enough to understand it...but that speaks more to the author's mastery of the subject matter and my own lack of knowledge. I didn't necessarily agree with everything he said, but I respect that we come from different backgrounds and different life experiences. I do think it is important to learn about different viewpoints than your own, and this book made me realize how little I really know about the history (and present) of race in our country. So overall this book made me think and made me understand that I have a lot more to learn.
