Ta-Nehisi Cole's Pulitzer Prize award winning book Between The World And Me (2015) is a modern day invective American society that is on par with the best of James Baldwin. In this extended essay written as a letter to his son, Cole reflects on his life growing up as a black man in Baltimore and takes a look around him at the current state of American society and how it is still a dangerous place for African American men -thus for his son. It is a short but powerful and timely read about race and American society.
