#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER | NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER | PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST | NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST | NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • O: The Oprah Magazine • The Washington Post • People • Entertainment Weekly • Vogue • Los Angeles Times • San Francisco Chronicle • Chicago Tribune • New York • Newsday • Library Journal • Publishers Weekly
Hailed by Toni Morrison as “required reading,” a bold and personal literary exploration of America’s racial history by “the single best writer on the subject of race in the United States” (The New York Observer) “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.
Praise for Between the World and Me“I’ve been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates. The language of Between the World and Me, like Coates’s journey, is visceral, eloquent, and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory.”
—Toni Morrison “Powerful and passionate . . . profoundly moving . . . a searing meditation on what it means to be black in America today.”
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “Really powerful and emotional.”
—John Legend, The Wall Street Journal “Extraordinary.”
—David Remnick, The New Yorker “Brilliant . . . a mature writer entirely consumed by a momentous subject and working at the extreme of his considerable powers.”
—The Washington Post “An eloquent blend of history, reportage, and memoir.”
—The Boston Globe “[Coates] speaks resolutely and vividly to all of black America.”
—Los Angeles Times “A work that’s both titanic and timely . . . the latest essential reading in America’s social canon.”
—Entertainment Weekly 网友对Between the World and Me的评论
这本书是美国国家图书奖2015年的最终获奖书籍（非虚构类）。是个年过40岁的黑人父亲写给自己 teenage 儿子的一封信，是一本关于美国黑人在白人依旧主导的美国社会中如何成长，如何成就，能否生存，怎样生活的书。作者是职业是记者。书籍从作者身为黑人经历的不安的童年开始，讲述和试图寻找“住在”黑人身体里，在美国社会的生活经历，描绘了自身精神世界的探索与思维变迁。以一种全新的视角看待美国历史，尤其是建立在奴役黑人历史上，以黑人几代人的生命为代价带来的繁荣。。。面对如今还依旧不断发生的黑人被警察杀害，而警察却不被起诉的事件，这本书从哲学高度探究和解释了其深层历史，心理原因。
读这本书不仅是更客观的打开美国历史，其中哲学上，心理上对奴役与自由的探索，也适用于去理解历史上各国各时期的所有欺压，镇压，所造成的历史性创伤和现实影响。
这本书情绪很沉重，很多想法甚至极端或显得推动了黑人白人的离间，但事实却是打造一面真实的镜子，从黑人的视角，还原美国一路发展历程的真实颜色。就像作者自己说的，他不会再考虑自己说话是否真让别人舒服了，因为他觉得没有必要再此为“自己是什么人”而像任何人道歉。（实际看来，这本书的效果相反，引起了美国社会的议论热潮，也获得了图书届最高荣誉）。这本书没有告诉人们应该怎么做，留着什么希望期许，但从全新视角解释了现实，是我们更了解我们自己"rest":"，从而也是为了更好未来。<br /><br />我自己读这本书，看到它获奖，看到白人作为书中“不那么光彩”的角色依旧给这本书很高评价，希望我们的社会也能容纳更多不同的声音和思考；但并不是大家叫喊着论证自己对，而是为了探索。就像作者说的，不停的读书帮了他很多，而他 "read for exploration, rather than for certainty.""
粗略的翻了下感觉还可以吧
买的作者自己朗读的音频书。有点失望。因为他声音并不好听。
作者讲述了作为黑人从小长大的因为有色body所受歧视造成的悲剧，不止他一个人还有所有的黑人同胞。讲述美国的黑人仍然在抗争歧视。其中重复频率最高的就是body，但是以受害人自居的直白不讨人喜欢。
我对这本书非常满意，内容仔细看了一下也很满意，是我非常喜欢的一本书。
孩子一口气看完，非常欢喜！
