Le jeune Hiram Walker est né dans les fers. Tout ce qui lui est resté de sa mère, c'est un pouvoir mystérieux. Pouvoir qui lui sauve la vie le jour où il manque se noyer. Après avoir frôlé la mort, il décide de s'enfuir, loin du seul monde qu'il ait jamais connu.
Ainsi débute un périple plein de surprises, qui va entraîner Hiram de la splendeur décadente des plantations de Virginie à la guérilla acharnée au coeur des grands espaces américains, du cercueil esclavagiste du Sud profond aux mouvements dangereusement idéalistes du Nord. Alors même qu'il s'enrôle dans la guerre clandestine qui oppose les maîtres aux esclaves, Hiram demeure plus que jamais déterminé à sauver la famille qu'il a laissée derrière lui.
Dans son premier roman, Ta-Nehisi Coates livre un récit profondément habité, plein de fougue et d'exaltation, qui rend leur humanité à tous ceux dont l'existence fut confisquée, les familles brisées, et qui trouvèrent le courage de conquérir leur liberté. -

«Voilà ce qu'il faut que tu saches:en Amérique, la destruction du corps noir est une tradition, un héritage. Je ne voudrais pas que tu te couches dans un rêve. Je voudrais que tu sois un citoyen de ce monde beau et terrible à la fois, un citoyen conscient. J'ai décidé de ne rien te cacher.»

À West Baltimore, dans les années 1980, les gangs et le crack sont le seul horizon des jeunes du quartier. Ta-Nehisi Coates est voué lui aussi à suivre ce chemin dévastateur, mais son père, Paul, ancien Black Panther passionné de littérature, lui fait découvrir Malcolm X et James Baldwin. C'est une révélation. L'adolescent rêveur, égaré dans les frasques d'une famille hors norme, se jure d'échapper à son destin.
Épopée lyrique aux accents hip-hop portée par l'amour et l'ambition, Le grand combat est l'histoire magnifique d'un éveil au monde, un formidable message d'espoir.

THE NEW YORK TIMES #1 BESTSELLER OPRAH BOOK CLUB PICK 'One of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. I haven't felt this way since I first read Beloved . . .' Oprah Winfrey The unmissable debut novel by the critically acclaimed author of Between the World and Me and We Were Eight Years in Power - a richly imagined and compulsively page-turning journey to freedom Hiram Walker is born into bondage on a Virginia plantation. But he is also born gifted with a mysterious power that he won't discover until he is almost a man, when he risks everything for a chance to escape. One fateful decision will carry him away from his makeshift plantation family - his adoptive mother, Thena, a woman of few words and many secrets, and his beloved, angry Sophia - and into the covert heart of the underground war on slavery. Hidden amidst the corrupt grandeur of white plantation society, exiled as guerrilla cells in the wilderness, buried in the coffin of the deep South and agitating for utopian ideals in the North, there exists a widespread network of secret agents working to liberate the enslaved. Hiram joins their ranks and learns fast but in his heart he yearns to return to his own still-enslaved family, to topple the plantation that was his first home. But to do so, he must first master his unique power and reclaim the story of his greatest loss. Propulsive, transcendent and blazing with truth, The Water Dancer is a story of oppression and resistance, separation and homecoming. Ta-Nehisi Coates imagines the covert war of an enslaved people in response to a generations-long human atrocity - a war for the right to life, to kin, to freedom. 'I was enthralled, I was devastated. I felt hope, I felt gratitude, I felt joy... [Ta-Nehisi Coates] is a magnificent writer' Oprah Winfrey

Huit ans au pouvoir ; une tragédie américaine

- 9782321013617
Le livre rassemble une sélection des articles les plus influents du journaliste afro-américain Ta-Nehisi Coates parus sous la présidence de Barack Obama (2009-2017) dans The Atlantic, un mensuel culturel américain fondé en 1857 dont il est l'un des correspondants. Ces articles ont fait de lui l'intellectuel noir le plus en vue de sa génération.
Se replongeant dans l'histoire américaine, l'auteur met en évidence ces moments d'émancipation et d'espoir suivi d'une violente régression. En cause, le racisme, la violence, l'inégalité et la pauvreté.
Le livre est à la fois, un témoignage sur le temps présent américain et une réflexion sur ses paradoxes.
Les huit chapitres de ce livre soulèvent, la question relative à la terrible crainte de l'Amérique, du « Nègre respectable » et du « bon Gouvernement nègre ». Abstraits et inoffensifs, les Blancs s'en accommodent. Comme dans le Cosby Show par exemple. La peur s'installe lorsque le « bon Gouvernement nègre » prétend exercer une autorité sur les Blancs, provoquant, la mise en cause de la discrimination positive et la remise en cause de la nationalité américaine d'Obama.
Ta-Nehisi Coates est un écrivain et journaliste américain né le 30 septembre 1975 à Baltimore (Maryland). Il est correspondant du journal The Atlantic où il couvre les affaires nationales, et s'intéresse particulièrement aux violences raciales. Il est lauréat du Prix Hillman pour le journalisme d'opinion et d'analyse (2012) et du George Polk Award (2014) pour son article « The Case for Reparations » publié dans The Atlantic en juin 2014.
Ta-Nehisi Coates est considéré comme l'un des penseurs afro-américains les plus influents de sa génération. Son livre Between The World And Me, a été classé numéro 1 sur la liste des Bestsellers du New York Times en 2015 et 2016, et traduit en une vingtaine de langues dont le français, avec plus d'1.5 million d'exemplaires vendus dans le monde, il a obtenu le National Book Award en 2015 pour ce livre.

"Deux cent cinquante ans d'esclavage.
Quatre-vingt-dix ans de lois discriminatoires.
Soixante ans de ségrégation légale.
Trente-cinq ans d'une politique du logement raciste.
Tant que nous n'aurons pas admis notre dette morale écrasante, l'Amérique ne sera jamais unie".
Dans cet essai implacable et nécessaire qui a reçu le prestigieux George Polk Award, Ta-Nehisi Coates interpelle son pays et le somme de prendre ses responsabilités face aux erreurs du passé.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of race, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men--bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coatess attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son--and readers--the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose childrens lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'I've been wondering who might fill the intellectual void after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates' Toni Morrison 'Searing. One of the foremost essayists on race in the West... [He] is responsible for some of the most important writing about what it is to be black in America today' Nikesh Shukla, editor of The Good Immigrant An essential account of modern America, from Obama to Trump, from black lives matter to white supremacists rising - by the bestselling author of Between the World and Me Obama's presidency was a watershed moment in American history. From 2008-2016, the leader of the free world was a black man. In those eight years, Obama transformed the conversation around race, gender, class and wealth - inspiring hope but also attracting criticism and breeding discontent. In this unflinching book, Ta-Nehisi Coates takes stock of Obama's eight years in power, through such iconic, unmissable essays as 'Fear of a Black President' and 'The Case for Reparations'. His account traverses the intersections of the political, the ideological and the cultural, presenting an America in radical flux and yet still in the grip of racial injustice, class warfare and institutional conspiracy. And it reflects on the author's own journey through these eight years, charting the public through the private in passages of startling intimate and piercingly relevant memoir. Ta-Nehisi Coates is one of our most brilliant, most fearless and most essential living writers - and his work is crucial to understanding race in America today. Finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize 2018 Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence 2018 RAVE READER REVIEWS: 'Brilliantly written, incisive, and extremely relevant . Read it with your families, use it in your classrooms, give copies to your friends' (Liz) 'Coates thinks more deeply and writes more clearly about the national tragedy and disgrace that is our collective failure to confront the legacy of White Supremacy than just about anyone... I can't recommend it highly enough' (Worddancer Redux) 'Every white person who wants to really know how it looks from 'the other side' should take on the responsibility of reading Coates' eye-opening, informative book... A must read for everyone of every colour' (Indy JV) 'A masterful understanding of how the USA really works' (shedgirl) 'If you want to know the wellsprings of racism in America - then read this book!' (David C. R. Hancock)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER OPRAHS BOOK CLUB PICK From the National Book Awardwinning author of Between the World and Me, a boldly conjured debut novel about a magical gift, a devastating loss, and an underground war for freedom. This potent book about Americas most disgraceful sin establishes [Ta-Nehisi Coates] as a first-rate novelist.-- San Francisco Chronicle NOMINATED FOR THE NAACP IMAGE AWARD NAMED ONE OF PASTE S BEST NOVELS OF THE DECADE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time NPR The Washington Post Chicago Tribune Vanity Fair Esquire Good Housekeeping Paste Town & Country The New York Public Library Kirkus Reviews Library Journal Nearly every paragraph is laced through with dense, gorgeously evocative descriptions of a vanished world and steeped in its own vivid vocabulary.-- Entertainment Weekly Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her--but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home hes ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginias proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the Deep South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North. Even as hes enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hirams resolve to rescue the family he left behind endures. This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children--the violent and capricious separation of families--and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of todays most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen. Praise for The Water Dancer Ta-Nehisi Coates is the most important essayist in a generation and a writer who changed the national political conversation about race with his 2015 memoir, Between the World and Me . So naturally his debut novel comes with slightly unrealistic expectations--and then proceeds to exceed them. The Water Dancer . . . is a work of both staggering imagination and rich historical significance. . . . Whats most powerful is the way Coates enlists his notions of the fantastic, as well as his fluid prose, to probe a wound that never seems to heal. . . . Timeless and instantly canon-worthy. -- Rolling Stone

THE BEAUTIFUL STRUGGLE - A FATHER, TWO SONS, AND AN UNLIKELY ROAD TO MANHOOD
Ta-Nehisi Coates
- Random house usa
- 6 Janvier 2009
- 9780385527460
An exceptional father-son story from the National Book Awardwinning 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 fathers 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 fathers 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. --Michael Chabon, bestselling author of The Yiddish Policemen s Union and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay Ta-Nehisi Coates is the young James Joyce of the hip hop generation. --Walter Mosley

Ta-Nehisi Coates (Black Panther) explore la nouvelle situation de Captain America après le crossover Secret Empire, une période où le peuple américain n'a plus confiance en son porte-étendard.
