Sobering.
评分基本进了美国各大年度最佳书榜。从The case for reparations就很爱他的写作,充满了力量。Institutional racism和对于black bodies的侵犯社会学家写了很多,可鲜有那么触动人心的语言(学术规范造成的壁垒固然是原因之一)。Coates通过他极强的写作和语言能力,从自身经历出发,又不囿于自身,很有感染力。
评分Institutionalized racism. 不知道是不是我期待值太高。感觉没想象的好,略偏激,略意气用事。本来指望后面能有更成熟更思辨的见解,也未见到。优点是确实powerful, 语句读起来就像念rap, 韵味十足。
评分觉得读者太怨愤了,且修辞用太多,读起来好累,不喜欢
评分如果说前面2/3能用语言和独特视角打四星的话,最后那段在巴黎和自己与世界和解把整本书提高到了五星。很多写种族问题的作者都最后留下一个巨大的疑惑,导致整本书变成了抱怨和逼逼,这本书没有,给了完美的结局很棒。以及让我想起了很早之前读过的英国早期殖民小说,讲非洲王子变成奴隶最后自杀的,这本书里面Prince Jones的故事让我觉得吧不管是什么时候黑人都对自己的身体没有控制。书评on the way。
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a former staff writer at The Village Voice and Time and has contributed to The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and numerous other publications. He lives in New York City.
“This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.”
In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden?
Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.
Between the world and me This is a book about black race in America. It has been included in so many "best books of the year" lists, and NYT alone had four reviews on it, let alone others. I am always half interested in the race relations, and African-Amer...
评分 评分我英文不好,只能读译著。所以,我不知道是翻译的原因还是我的阅读水平有限,亦或是作者本身的写作特点导致,这本由作者写给自己孩子的三封信组成的书读起来很拗口,内容也略显混乱。本以为这是一部针砭美国时弊,了解美国社会种族主义成因的著作,但我读后感觉更加迷茫。我没...
评分如果只依赖视觉,我们的世界山高云阔。在撞到透明的墙之前,所有人都以为自己是命运的主人。给苦难寻找理由是那么简单:被骗的是因为你贪,被强暴的是因为你骚,被盗的是因为不够警觉,被杀的是因为你在错误的时间出现在错误的地点。我们热衷于为苦难寻找逻辑,借此避开所有潜...
