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.
世界,是白人的世界,是崇尚民主与仁慈上帝的世界,这个世界的名字叫“美国”。 这个世界的另一面充满着各种异端的行为,暴力、毒品、强奸……受害者是我,是我们,是想要在美国得以“自由生活”的黑人。 可以说,这本书的内容就是三封信,是塔那西斯·科茨写给儿子的三封信。...
評分 評分在我接触了优质的中国家庭之后我发现,这些父亲与母亲在对待自己孩子时更温柔,更民主,更加爱,也许你要说谁家的父母不爱自己的孩子呢?这没有可比性。不,我要告诉你的是对于成长期的孩子来说温柔的爱与粗暴的爱,显然温柔的爱如冬日暖阳,如暮春微风是滋养儿童成长的一片舒...
評分对美国的种族主义了解不多,大部分都还是停留在中学时代所学的美国历史,南北战争,废除奴隶制……现实生活里对种族主义的接触也不多,更谈不上有多深入的感受和理解,总觉得一提起黑人,就是盗窃、抢劫、强奸、犯罪,就是贫穷、困顿、街头小混混……黑人二字,好像自古以来就...
評分我写我思 (一) 最初打开这本书,是基于“这是一本写给儿子的三封信”。作为一名新手麻麻,我想知道父母对于孩子应该有什么的期待,未曾想这是一本对于一个族群的无力,对于现实残酷世界浓重的悲伤。 孩子,我是如此的爱你,可恰恰是因为我爱你,我不得不告诉你真实的世界是...
像詩歌一樣的文字。A tale about the dreamers and their nation told through the perspective of the oppressed. Lots of deep thoughts and passion.
评分就是一篇大作文,乏善可陳。
评分unshackled from the body
评分“they made us into a race, we made ourselves into a people”
评分Institutionalized racism. 不知道是不是我期待值太高。感覺沒想象的好,略偏激,略意氣用事。本來指望後麵能有更成熟更思辨的見解,也未見到。優點是確實powerful, 語句讀起來就像念rap, 韻味十足。
