Listen "Between the World and Me Deep Talk"
Episode Synopsis
Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me is a non-fiction work exploring the realities of being Black in America. Written as a letter to his teenage son, the book grapples with the historical and contemporary manifestations of systemic racism and its impact on Black bodies. Coates reflects on his own experiences growing up in Baltimore, his time at Howard University, and the pervasive fear and violence that shape Black life. He critiques the American Dream as being built upon the oppression of Black people and examines the psychological and physical toll of racism. Through personal narrative and historical analysis, Coates offers a powerful and unflinching examination of race, identity, and the ongoing struggle for equality.
