A profound and deeply personal exploration of race in America, Between the World and Me is written as a heartfelt letter from author Ta-Nehisi Coates to his teenage son. In this National Book Award–winning memoir, Coates unpacks the realities of living in a Black body, weaving together history, personal experience, and searing social commentary.

Hailed as “required reading” by Toni Morrison and celebrated by outlets like TIME, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone, this powerful narrative journeys from the streets of Baltimore to the classrooms of Howard University, from Civil War landmarks to present-day injustices.

A modern classic, this book challenges readers to confront hard truths about race, identity, and the American dream—and dares us to imagine a new way forward.
