Review

The audiobook by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me is in incredible representation of how American Culture has tried to pacify the black people’s struggle by trying to silence their rage and unconformity of living in a Society that still showcases disadvantages towards the black men and women.

This amazing audiobook is presented as a letter written for the author’s teen son. There he explains how American History is filled with blood shed by black men and women that have been fighting for hundreds of year asking for a change. A lot has been achieved in the fight for racial equality. However, Coates presents a white supremacy that will never cease to exist which is why the black men and women will always be struggling against it.

This book has been regarded as an intellectual piece of art and has received the MacArthur Genius Award. The book is seemed as a combination of non-fiction, political theory and autobiography.

Between the World and Me clearly screams the fact that it is a tradition that the American system destroys the black. He says that this behavior was encrypted in America’s culture since the very beginning of the nation, and it was also reinforced during its development and this is why the black men and women will always have to fight for their right not to be disembodied.
