Between the World and Me
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
So much to think about in such a short span of pages! I'd been hearing about this book for years and finally just sat down to read it. Basically, I get why it's been such a pivotal work in the antiracist canon. Ta-Nehisi Coates writes with a certain poetic fire—every word strikes the page with importance. There's so much content packed inside "Between the World and Me" though that I had difficulty following his train of thought at times. Because of the general hype surrounding Ta-Nehisi Coates, I think my expectations were unrealistically raised which clouded my perception of this book, which in reality I think rests around 3.5-ish stars. Overall though, very powerful and worth a read. I think his son would be quite proud.
