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.

Book Description
Duku talks too much. He was only 10 years old when his family emigrated from a Ugandan refugee camp to Australia. As a refugee, life in Australia had already been proving to be difficult. But Duku had a lot of dreams, and nothing - not being a victim of bullying, nor his speech impediment and being expelled from his school - could stop him from going after everything he has ever dreamed off. Even though life in Australia was hard, Duku always had his loving family by his side. Together, they overcame the different culture shocks by learning the new language, getting used to the new foods and making a life for themselves. Their parent’s sacrifice and work ethics were the inspiration Duku and his 6 siblings needed to help ignite their dreams. Duku’s two best friends Adam and Boni were always around when there was something to laugh about or a dream to chase. But after managing to graduate high school and getting into university, Duku made a spontaneous decision to travel to the other side of the world to eat a sandwich! The video on YouTube about the sandwich was so inspiring that Duku didn’t know it would lead him to getting lost in Hong Kong, becoming an illegal migrant in Thailand and speaking at the UN Headquarters in New York just for him to achieve his dream! An inspiring figure, Duku’s story will move and amuse you as he discovers his rich dreams.
