A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath. One of his six favorite books, as shared at The Week magazine:Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi CoatesRead about the other entries on the list.
An uneasy truce exists between black and white Americans: We avoid giving offense largely by not talking about how race alters lived experience. Coates takes that subject head on, explaining the nearly constant fear that still afflicts black Americans. This is an uncomfortable book, but brilliant and right on point.
