*As you read this summary, you will learn about what stands between the world and the American writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.



*You will also learn that : the author was educated at Howard University in Washington; his father was a librarian at Howard University in Washington; the author takes a very critical look at the non-violence of the civil rights movement; the original title of the book is taken from a poem by Richard Wright; one of his best friends was the victim of a police blunder; the book is a long letter from the author to her 15-year-old son.



*In a lyrical and sometimes hallucinatory text, Ta-Nehisi Coates traces in an elliptical way the history of his country, the United States, and the two main communities living there: whites and blacks. If he quotes the native Americans, that is, the Indians, it is in passing, to underline the genocide of which they were victims on the part of the whites and the total dispossession of their lands. This pattern of dispossession is the one that, for Ta-Nehisi Coates, sums up the condition and status of the Black people in the United States: a people that is dispossessed even of its own body, above all of its own body. For the pillage by white people in North America began with the looting and enslavement of the bodies of the black people?
