The Message
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Meandering at times but still manages to craft an important message. Across time and borders, TNC warns us about the alluring narratives of empire and conquest. Stories that mythologize land and peoples, that weaken human empathy, that foster hatred and indifference. TNC argues that no one, not even the oppressed, are invulnerable to these systems of power - and these systems can never be tools of liberation.
“Oppressive power is preserved in the smoke and fog, and sometimes it is smuggled in the unexamined shadows of the language of the oppressed themselves.”
