Coates' first novel and work of fiction, The Water Dancer , was published in , and is a surrealist story set in the time of slavery, concerning a superhuman protagonist named Hiram Walker who possesses photographic memory, but who cannot remember his mother, and is able to transport people over far distances by using a power known as "conduction" which can fold the Earth like fabric and allows him to travel across large areas via waterways. Coates is also set to adapt Rachel Aviv's New Yorker article "Wrong Answer" into a full-length feature film of the same title, starring Michael B. Jordan with direction by Ryan Coogler. In an interview with Ezra Klein , Coates outlined his analysis that the extent of white identity expression in the United States serves as a critical factor in threat perceptions of certain white Americans and their response to political paradigm shifts related to African Americans , such as the presidency of Barack Obama. Coates lived in Paris for a residency. In December , Coates, who had a following of over 1. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. American writer. Celebration in Baltimore , Maryland , U.

About this product Product Information An exceptional father-son story from the National Book Award-winning author of Between the World and Me about the reality that tests us, the myths that sustain us, and the love that saves us. Paul Coates was an enigmatic god to his sons: a Vietnam vet who rolled with the Black Panthers, an old-school disciplinarian and new-age believer in free love, an autodidact who launched a publishing company in his basement dedicated to telling the true history of African civilization. Most of all, he was a wily tactician whose mission was to carry his sons across the shoals of inner-city adolescence--and through the collapsing civilization of Baltimore in the Age of Crack-- and into the safe arms of Howard University, where he worked so his children could attend for free. Among his brood of seven, his main challenges were Ta-Nehisi, spacey and sensitive and almost comically miscalibrated for his environment, and Big Bill, charismatic and all-too-ready for the challenges of the streets. The Beautiful Struggle follows their divergent paths through this turbulent period, and their father's steadfast efforts--assisted by mothers, teachers, and a body of myths, histories, and rituals conjured from the past to meet the needs of a troubled present--to keep them whole in a world that seemed bent on their destruction. With a remarkable ability to reimagine both the lost world of his father's generation and the terrors and wonders of his own youth, Coates offers readers a small and beautiful epic about boys trying to become men in black America and beyond. Praise for The Beautiful Struggle "I grew up in a Maryland that lay years, miles and worlds away from the one whose summers and sorrows Ta-Nehisi Coates evokes in this memoir with such tenderness and science; and the greatest proof of the power of this work is the way that, reading it, I felt that time, distance and barriers of race and class meant nothing. That in telling his story he was telling my own story, for me. Additional Product Features Dewey Edition. Show More Show Less. Add to Cart. Any Condition Any Condition. See all 19 - All listings for this product. I was born a military brat, the son of a veterinarian and officer. My father was born to parents who hadn't graduated from high school, but through grit and determination, and the help of the military, put himself through college and UC Davis veterinary school. I was born into the privilege carved out of my father's grit. Ta-Nehisi Coates' Quotes 1 : "I was a black boy at the height of the crack era, which meant that my instructors pitched education as the border between those who would prosper in America, and those who would be fed to the great hydra of prison, teenage pregnancy and murder. There were times when I was teased, perhaps, because of my ears. There were parents who were wary of their kids hanging out with a Mormon. But all of those slights and scars of youth seem insignificant and trivial compared to Coates and his peers of black youth and their nervous mothers raised in West Baltimore in the 80s. What I took for wind, in my life, was a breeze. What I thought was a mountain, in my path, was only a hill. Ta-Nehisi Coates' Quotes 2 : ""The greatest reward of this constant interrogation, confrontation with the brutality of my country, is that it has freed me from hosts and myths. His journey -- despite the distance of space, AND because of the proximity of time, and the universality of fathers and sons -- is infinitely relatable. I understand his father, because I know my own father. I understand his insecurities, his vulnerabilities and his fears, his transformation between oblivion and consciousness, because I have walked that path. Not HIS path, but one that is etched through the same years. So, despite the severe differences between a black boy in Baltimore and a white boy in Orem, Coates is able to paint a bridge of words that gives me access. That allows me safe passage to another's core, a place to better understand him, but also better understand myself. Ta-Nehisi Coates' Quotes 3 : "I would always be a false move away. I would always have the dagger at my throat. View all 7 comments.

  • COMMUNITY INEQUALITY FALL 2014 Tuesdays, 9:30AM-12:10PM Davison Hall
    1 SOCIOLOGY 573 – COMMUNITY INEQUALITY FALL 2014 Tuesdays, 9:30AM-12:10PM Davison Hall Professor: Zaire Dinzey-Flores Sociology / Latino & Hispanic Caribbean Studies Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Thursdays, 10AM-12PM in Lucy Stone Hall A261 and by appointment Course Website: sakai.rutgers.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION “Community” is a central concept in sociology, rife with rich debates about its meaning and relevance for social life. This course will examine the concept of “community” as it informs, shapes, and edifies social inequality. The course will focus on different scales and conceptualization of community (spatially-defined, local, metropolitan, global, race, class, gender, immigrant) and how these conceptions intersect with varying dimensions and types of inequality (e.g., race, class, gender). The course will first investigate the concept of community as it is constituted in the discipline of sociology (and, as you will find out in anthropology, as well), and how the concept came to be located in the study of cities. We will examine the varied ways in which community is defined, measured, and studied. Then we will consider the study of community in its relationship to geographical spaces, social identities, and the social institutions and how the concept is deployed and circulated in its relationship to inequality. Community is a broad concept around which to frame a course and selection is inevitable to any production. The objectives of the course are to provide a foundational understanding of how community has been studied in sociology while offering a view of the breadth of the concept. Based on the lineage of the concept of community in sociology and anthropology, the first limitation is inbuilt; that is, the readings (as the study of community in sociology and anthropology) are clustered around urban topics.

  • Economy and Federal Debt
    Citizens Jury on the US Economy and Federal Debt PART 1 INTRODUCTION BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty” Thomas Jefferson wrote those words when our Republic was in its infancy. At a time when the masses are disillusioned with our leaders, cynical about the decisions they make, or don’t make, and feel helpless in the face of great challenges, those words seem prophetic. The Founder of the Jefferson Center, Ned Crosby subtitled his book, “Healthy Democracy” with the words, “Empowering a clear and informed voice of the people.” In May of 2012, the Jefferson Center re-embarked on a journey to do just that. In fact, we set a course to reclaim the democracy that Jefferson and the founders dreamed of. This report captures the essence of that project in May. While a goal was to explore a different use for the Citizens Jury process, much more came out of it. The group of regular citizens came together and demonstrated to all of us that people of different background, perspective, and political persuasion, can learn about complex issues in an open, constructive and engaging way. They were informed by expert witnesses who provided them with background information. They also challenged those witnesses. By the end they were truly empowered not only from the experience of interacting with complete strangers in a constructive and powerful way, but in creating higher expectations for themselves, their neighbors, and leaders making decisions on our behalf.
