Rick Klau reviewed Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Review of 'Between the World and Me' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
It's hard to look at your own world through others' eyes. Especially when what you see is the exposure of privilege, and the denial of that privilege to so many. Coates takes a hard look at the American Dream, and through an essay to his teenage son, explains the origins of that Dream, the conflict at its core, and the willful blindness many have when it comes to the degree to which the Dream is denied to so many Americans.
This is not an easy book to read, but it is a critically important book.
