About the feeling of being black in a white society, about racism in the twenty-first century, about America in which discrimination is still strongly present, about a society that is still regurgitating its sorrows and its children falling one by one with the bullets of the police, about the struggle of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., about a new voice similar to that of the great black rights writer James Baldwin, on slavery whose legacy is still heavy in the conscience of human rights defenders, on the letter of a grieving black father to a young son who knows his future will bear a legacy Of hatred, anger, and non-belonging, about color and race, about words and its power, about memory and its perseverance, about humanity and the subtlety of belonging to it, about all of that and more in the adorable small -yet iconic- book “Between The World And Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
