The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates
5.0
challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

In stunning prose as always, Coates writes to inform/educate, reflect upon personal experience, and “reveal truth” through seeking it as a journalist. Reflecting on his time in South Carolina, Senegal, and Palestine, Coates brings to light underlying but necessary connections between the oppressed experiences of Black people (particularly in America and South Africa), Jews, and Palestinians. I learned more about the Israeli occupation of Palestine from this book than any other source so far.
