Between the World And Me

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates is a profound, personal letter from father to son, exploring the realities of being Black in America. With searing honesty and poetic precision, Coates recounts his own awakening to the history of racial injustice—from his childhood in Baltimore to his time at Howard University and beyond. More than a memoir, the book is a meditation on identity, fear, and the unrelenting struggle for freedom in a country built on the myth of whiteness. Urgent and intimate, Between the World and Me is essential reading for understanding race, history, and the fragile beauty of the Black body in America.
