#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The renowned author of Between the World and Me journeys to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell\u2014and the ones we don\u2019t\u2014shape our realities.<\/p>\n

\u201cTa-Nehisi Coates always writes with a purpose. . . . These pilgrimages, for him, help ground his powerful writing about race.\u201d\u2014Associated Press<\/p>\n

\u201cCoates exhorts readers, including students, parents, educators, and journalists, to challenge conventional narratives that can be used to justify ethnic cleansing or camouflage racist policing. Brilliant and timely.\u201d\u2014Booklist (starred review)<\/p>\n

Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell\u2019s classic \u201cPolitics and the English Language,\u201dbut found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories\u2014our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking\u2014expose and distort our realities.<\/p>\n

In the first of the book\u2019s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes listeners along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book\u2019s banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation\u2019s recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city\u2014a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book\u2019s longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.<\/p>\n

Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country\u2019s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world\u2014and our own souls\u2014and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.<\/p>\n
