“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.

读后感

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。...  

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...  

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...  

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...  

用户评价

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。

哭了

非常有感染力和辩说力的一本书。

从头卖惨到底。很难看。
