The Message
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
informative
reflective
fast-paced
This book was incredibly moving. It's also brave, bold, and so very timely. Coates dares not only to address the on-going colonization, apartheid, and genocide of the Palestinian people, he does so knowing full well that it will cost him. Speaking truth to power always does. And yet, as he so aptly puts it, "...to imagine the enslaved, the colonized, the conquered as human beings has always been a political act." He goes into this with eyes wide open.
As the intro on the book sleeve notes, with this book, Coates addresses "the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world - and our own souls - and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths."
If you are looking to have your eyes opened and to challenge your own perceptions of the world that surrounds you, you should read this book.
