This book hit hard and only reinforced what I’ve always felt — why would anyone willingly choose to live in the US? I don’t get it, and maybe I never will. For a country labeled ‘first world,’ the contradictions are endless. But that’s a question without an answer.That said, this is a book everyone needs to read, especially people from US — and especially the younger generation. It’s raw, powerful, and brutally honest, the kind of truth most fathers wouldn’t dare say out loud to their kids.It left me with countless questions and a lingering sense of confusion, but maybe that’s the point. Some things are just impossible to fully grasp. And yet, I’m glad that I'm trying.

Una mirada dura, critica para deconstruir el famoso sueño americano que borra de un tajo la negra historia del racismo que los forjó como nación. Como gran parte de la literatura americana, es profundamente chauvinista, desde una perspectiva aislada del resto del mundo, encerrada en una soledad violenta y cruda, envuelta en la ilusión materialista del mundo objetal donde desaparece todo rastro humano.

I admit I have read very little so far, concerning the issues people of color are facing worldwide and in the US specifically. This is not fiction, yet quite gripping. It's a good starting pointo to dicover a whole new world of emotions. I'll recommend this to anyone interested in understanding.

Doloroso y triste, pero al mismo tiempo hermoso, en esta carta hacia su propio hijo, Coates analiza la situación racial de Estados Unidos desde un enfoque muy personal. El libro escrito de manera magistral te hace sentir la rabia sobre las injusticias vividas por los afroamericanos solo por el color de la piel. Recomendadisima.

I loved it. It changed my life.I also wrote about this book for my Postcolonial Literature course at the University, and it was a great pleasure to analyze it as an academic person.Great book!

The author writes a letter to his son in order to show how his social environment, education and family background have influenced him, how all this history and memory around have shaped his personality and character, how it is to grown up in America being part of social minority.Coates describes the fear, the discrimination, the prejudgment because of belonging to a minority (Afro-American) in the US. He writes also about how unfair the rule “you have to be twice as good” is, because this rule is a justification of the way things are and make people think it is their own fault, they are guilty in some way.But these thoughts could be applied to any western society or any social group; the quote people who think they are white” is not only a reference to a book american classic, it is also a reference about how much we guilt ourselves for not getting what we fight for. We may believe many times it is our own fault, we may think maybe if we do it better next time we will get there, maybe the future will be different for us if we improve, maybe our children will get there if they are better than we are… and we justify and accept the status quo of the present situation.You may be white, like I am, but maybe you are from a small town, trying to get thought a career in a big city; maybe your parents did not go to university and you feel you are not well accepted in some educated groups, maybe you start a small business, a professional such as lawyer or architect and you are not into some social elite groups, lobbies or economic establishment groups of any level, and you feel you have not the same success some others do because they got there some decades or centuries before… maybe you think you are white, but the truth is you are not. Power and social elites discriminate us all.He describes the social dysfunctions that he has learned and his fears about them. Fears about their prevalence over time, about they can influence his son’s condition him and about how telling them or not, may how determine his existence.I am a 45 year old, white (well I mean I think I am white), European citizen who lives far away from that environment and society. However I believe this book is not about America’s racial discrimination, it is about the lack of implementation of our western values in any democratic country around the world.English is not my mother tongue and I am not familiar with some characters and references, such as leaders, characters and civil rights activists that are mentioned in the book. However I believe most of the message of the book could be applied to any social rights movement, to any social, gender, sexual orientation discrimination in any western country.Besides the author's pessimism about change or about the future, the book is full of love, fatherhood guidance, acceptance of difference, respect, hope and tolerance for the values that he is claiming for: we were all created equal.

My only complaint is with the physical book. Too small and the cover came ruined. But the content, my god, was mind-blowing. Every teenager in America should read this.

Selten habe ich zwei so unterschiedliche Bücher mit ähnlichem Thema und ähnlicher Botschaft gelesen wie diese beiden: Bryan Stevensons "Mercy" und Ta-Nehisi Coates' "Between the World and Me". Auf der einen Seite der Anwalt Stevenson, der stets nachdrücklich, aber mit äußerster Vorsicht gegen die Willkür von Polizei und Justiz ankämpft, mit dem Wohl seiner Klienten im Hinterkopf, was ihn auch bei seinen öffentlichen Auftritten immer verbindlich bleiben lässt, auf der anderen der Journalist und Autor Coates, der nichts zu verlieren zu haben scheint und dessen Buch eine bitterböse Anklage ist gegen eine Gesellschaft, die nicht realisiert, dass die Zerstörungen von 250 Jahren Sklaverei nach wie vor als Krebsgeschwür in ihr wuchern, oft deutlich sichtbar, aber oft auch gut verborgen.Es sind ja nicht nur die ungesühnten Morde, die weiße (und schwarze!) Polizisten an sich zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort befindlichen Schwarzen begehen, sondern auch die kleinen Erniedrigungen des täglichen Lebens, bei denen wieder und wieder zum Ausdruck kommt, wie fest und oft unbewusst in "denen, die meinen, dass sie weiß sind" der Glaube an eine angeborene, naturgegebene Überlegenheit verankert ist.Geschrieben als offener Brief an den Sohn und gedacht als offener Brief an die Nation, ist "Between the World and Me" ein mehr oder weniger unsortierter Ausbruch, eine wilde Mischung aus Erinnerungen, Einsichten, Analysen, Warnungen, Forderungen und Hoffnungen - nein, Hoffnungen eher nicht: sein Fazit ist zutiefst pessimistisch, und das Unvermögen Amerikas, seine Probleme zu erkennen und daraus Konsequenzen zu ziehen, gibt ihm dazu reichlich Futter.Und wenn wir Europäer meinen, wir wären so viel besser als die Amis und könnten uns geschichtsbewusstseinsmäßig entspannt zurücklehnen: Die Folgen von Hunderten Jahren Kolonialismus kriegen wir gerade um die Ohren gehauen. Und wes Geistes Kinder viele von uns auch heute noch sind, haben die Clausnitzer und Bautzener Mobs gerade in diesen Tagen wieder deutlich klargemacht. Dabei könnten wir im Umgang mit den Flüchtlingen zeigen, was wir aus dem Dritten Reich gelernt haben, aber das will in bedenklich viele Köpfe nicht rein.

It is a view into another world and culture. When you reside or grow up in cosmopolitan cultures like those of the Arabian Gulf, it is hard to know the kinds of lifelong fears and doubts that many African Americans experience from a young age.
