THE MESSAGE

Author Ta-Nehisi Coates narrates this must-listen, a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays. In recounting his travels to Senegal and South Carolina, Coates incisively reflects on slavery and white supremacy. From his travels to Israel and Palestine, Coates meditates on the trauma of the Holocaust, segregated society, dehumanization, and voices that are missing from the narratives we are told. Coates frequently addresses listeners in the second person, a technique that creates an intimate connection to his words. With his measured pacing and gentle delivery, he encourages listeners to ponder the important issues and questions he covers. This audiobook is a haunting, timely examination of global affairs and the importance of truth and inclusivity in our culture. V.T.M.
