Between the World and Me
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Coates writes this novel in the form of a narrative to his son. The story centers around one singular theme: the Black body. Coates mentions the victims of murders throughout America for simply being Black. The Black body has been targeted, used for profit, raped, beat, incarcerated, and made inferior. Throughout the novel, Coates continually mentions the power of the Black body and the need to protect it and fight for the rights it deserves. At the end of the novel, Coates brings up his friend Prince Jones who was killed by the police. He ties the whole novel together by highlighting the life of his friend and the hopes he has for his son.
This is an essential read for any and all Americans, but especially those going into education. Coates highlights that the justice system controls the Black body, but the education system is what controls the Black mind.
