We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Never was the subtitle, “An American Tragedy,” better used than in Coates’ collection of essays. Utterly intriguing yet simultaneously depressing, one might never consider the prospect of the “first white president” not arriving until 2016 before navigating through this reflective piece. Coates took me on a journey of painful truth and promising progress before reminding us that today’s reality is but a cautionary tale of possible descent into our unresolved (and in many ways unforgivable) past. Pay attention people!
