Between the World and Me

by Ta-Nehisi Coates · 2015

★★★★½ 4.5/5 · ALLO'S PICK
A letter from Coates to his teenage son about what it means to inhabit a Black body in America. Written in the tradition of Baldwin, it earns the comparison.
Allo's take
Coates doesn't offer hope because he doesn't think false hope is a kindness. That honesty is what makes this book necessary.
