{"product_id":"between-the-world-and-me","title":"Between the World and Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 150 years since the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, the story of race and America has remained a brutally simple one, written on flesh: it is the story of the black body, exploited to create the country's foundational wealth, violently segregated to unite a nation after a civil war, and, today, still disproportionately threatened, locked up and killed in the streets. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can America reckon with its fraught racial history?  Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer those questions, presented in the form of a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his own awakening to the truth about history and race through a series of revelatory experiences: immersion in nationalist mythology as a child; engagement with history, poetry and love at Howard University; travels to Civil War battlefields and the South Side of Chicago; a journey to France that reorients his sense of the world; and pilgrimages to the homes of mothers whose children's lives have been taken as American plunder. Taken together, these stories map a winding path towards a kind of liberation—a journey from fear and confusion, to a full and honest understanding of the world as it is.  Masterfully woven from lyrical personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me offers a powerful new framework for understanding America's history and current crisis, and a transcendent vision for a way forward.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 153 x 234 x 12\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Ta-Nehisi Coates\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781925240702\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48357549310105,"sku":"16RC-2-9781925240702","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/Between_the_World_and_Me_Ta-Nehisi_Coates.jpg?v=1784889408","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/between-the-world-and-me","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
