A Dança da Água
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Do autor vencedor do National Book Award, A Dança da Água é um dos romances mais aclamados de sempre sobre o racismo e a luta pela liberdade.
O jovem Hiram Walker nasceu escravo, numa plantação na Virgínia. Quando a mãe é vendida, Hiram fica sem qualquer memória dela, mas recebe um poder misterioso que lhe salva a vida ao quase afogar-se num rio. Este encontro com a morte acorda em si uma vontade urgente de criar um plano ousado: fugir da única casa que conhece.
Assim começa a viagem inesperada que o leva da grandeza corrupta das plantações na Virgínia a células de guerrilhas no deserto, do caixão do Sul profundo a movimentos perigosamente idealistas do Norte. E, mesmo no meio da guerra entre escravos e esclavagistas, Hiram permanece decidido em resgatar aquela que considera ser a sua verdadeira família e que deixou para trás.
Esta é a história dramática de uma atrocidade infligida a gerações de mulheres, homens e crianças – a separação violenta e caprichosa de famílias e as guerras travadas pelo direito a estarem com quem amam. Escrito por um dos autores mais emocionantes da atualidade, A Dança da Água é um trabalho transcendente que restaura a humanidade daqueles a quem tudo foi tirado.
Between the World and Me
Ta-Nehisi Coates
“This is your country, this is your world, this is your body, and you must find some way to live within the all of it.” In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis. 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 Coates’s 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 children’s 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 indomitable will of Wakanda -- the famed African nation known for its vast wealth, advanced technology and warrior traditions -- has long been reflected in the will of its monarchs, the Black Panthers. But now the current Black Panther, T'Challa, finds that will tested by a superhuman terrorist group called The People that has sparked a violent uprising among the citizens of Wakanda.

Entre o Mundo e Eu
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Ta-Nehisi Coates é um jornalista americano que trabalha com a questão racial em seu país desde que escolheu sua profissão. Filho de militantes do movimento negro, Coates sempre se questionou sobre o lugar que é relegado ao negro na sociedade. Em 2014, quando o racismo voltou a ser debatido com força nos Estados Unidos, Coates escreveu uma carta ao filho adolescente e compartilha, por meio de uma série de experiências reveladoras, seu despertar para a verdade em relação a seu lugar no mundo e uma série de questionamentos sobre o que é ser negro na América.
O que é habitar um corpo negro e encontrar uma maneira de viver dentro dele? Como podemos avaliar de forma honesta a história e, ao mesmo tempo, nos libertar do fardo que ela representa?
Em um trabalho profundo que articula grandes questões da história com as preocupações mais íntimas de um pai por um filho, Entre o mundo e eu apresenta uma nova e poderosa forma de compreender o racismo. Um livro universal sobre como a mácula da escravidão ainda está presente nas sociedades em diferentes roupagens e modos de segregação.
Il danzatore dell'acqua
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Hiram Walker è nato schiavo in una piantagione della Virginia. Quando un giorno precipita nel fiume gli manca il respiro, come se fosse spinto a fondo dalle sue stesse catene. Ma il misterioso potere di una luce azzurra lo salva dalla morte: è l’inizio di una storia di rabbia e passione destinata a cambiare la sua vita e quella del suo popolo.
Nella piantagione di Lockless vive Hiram Walker: ha diciannove anni ed è nato schiavo, ma possiede qualcosa che lo rende unico. Il padre di Hiram è il proprietario della piantagione: come spesso accadeva all’epoca, ha messo incinta una schiava e l’ha poi venduta quando Hiram era solo un bambino. Della madre Hiram non ricorda niente, nonostante la memoria portentosa che, insieme alla sua intelligenza, gli ha permesso di lavorare a stretto contatto con i bianchi. Un giorno, quando Hiram ha diciannove anni, succede qualcosa di inspiegabile: gettato nelle acque tormentose di un fiume, il giovane scopre di possedere un misterioso potere. Un potere, una visione che si trasformerà in una missione, per sé e per tutto il suo popolo. La storia della sua fuga dalla piantagione e di come imparerà a controllare la «Conduzione» è la storia della sua presa di coscienza, individuale e collettiva. È la storia di un riscatto e di un amore: perché è la storia di una rivolta. Quando negli Stati Uniti è uscito Il danzatore dell’acqua di Ta-Nehisi Coates il mondo editoriale ha capito di essere di fronte a un evento storico: il primo romanzo dell’intellettuale invitato più volte alla Casa Bianca da Obama ha esordito direttamente al primo posto nella classifica del «New York Times», è stato scelto da Oprah Winfrey per il suo Book Club, è stato nominato tra i migliori libri del decennio dalla rivista «Paste» e inserito tra i libri dell’anno nelle liste di «Time», «The Washington Post», «Chicago Tribune», «Vanity Fair», «Esquire», «Good House- keeping», The New York Public Library, «Kirkus Reviews», «Library Journal» e dalla National Public Radio. A distanza di mesi il libro, se possibile, appare ancora più urgente: attraverso l’immaginazione letteraria e la sua magia, Coates ci dà la possibilità di credere per un attimo in un’altra Storia, più clemente nei confronti di coloro che per secoli furono oppressi dalla schiavitù. Ma dura solo un istante, perché Il danzatore dell’acqua è soprattutto una riflessione profonda su quella che, purtroppo, è stata l’unica, vera, Storia.
Le Procès de l'Amérique
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Pendant deux cent cinquante ans, la législation américaine s'est employée à transformer les Noirs en une classe d'intouchables, tandis qu'elle a élevé tous les hommes blancs au rang de citoyens. Il est temps que les États-Unis reconnaissent leurs erreurs. Mais peut-on réparer l'histoire ? Pendant des décennies, on a refusé aux Noirs l'American Dream, on a renié leur droit à l'éducation, bafoué leurs droits civiques, tout ce qu'ils possédaient a été confisqué ou détruit et,longtemps, ils n'ont pas bénéficié de la protection des lois. Un nombre important d'Américains semblent totalement ignorer ce passé et le rôle que les suprémacistes blancs ont joué pour faire des États-Unis ce qu'ils sont aujourd'hui. « Revendiquer fièrement l'héritage du valeureux combattant et désavouer le maître d'esclaves, c'est du patriotisme à la carte. » Ta-Nehisi Coates, auteur du Grand Combat et d'Une colère noire avance l'idée de la nécessité morale d'une réparation, quelle que soit sa forme, sans quoi l'Amérique restera à jamais divisée. Un texte fort, engagé, indispensable.
The Beautiful Struggle
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Adapted from the adult memoir by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Water Dancer and Between the World and Me, this father-son story explores how boys become men, and quite specifically, how Ta-Nehisi Coates became Ta-Nehisi Coates.
As a child, Ta-Nehisi Coates was seen by his father, Paul, as too sensitive and lacking focus. Paul Coates was a Vietnam vet who'd been part of the Black Panthers and was dedicated to reading and publishing the history of African civilization. When it came to his sons, he was committed to raising proud Black men equipped to deal with a racist society, during a turbulent period in the collapsing city of Baltimore where they lived.
Coates details with candor the challenges of dealing with his tough-love father, the influence of his mother, and the dynamics of his extended family, including his brother "Big Bill," who was on a very different path than Ta-Nehisi. Coates also tells of his family struggles at school and with girls, making this a timely story to which many readers will relate.
The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons and an Unlikely Road to Manhood
Ta-Nehisi Coates
An exceptional father-son story 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 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.
The Case for Reparations
Ta-Nehisi Coates
The Message
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set off to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic Politics and the English Language, but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and mythmaking—expose and distort our realities.
The first of the book’s three intertwining essays is set in Dakar, Senegal. Despite being raised as a strict Afrocentrist, Coates had never set foot on the African continent until now. He roams the “steampunk” city of “old traditions and new machinery,” but everywhere he goes he feels as if he’s in two places at once: a modern city in Senegal and a mythic kingdom in his mind. Finally he travels to the slave castles off the coast and has his own reckoning with the legacy of the Afrocentric dream.
He takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he meets an educator whose job is threatened for teaching one of Coates’s own books. There he discovers a community of mostly white supporters who were transformed by the “racial reckoning” of 2020. But he also explores the backlash to this reckoning and the deeper myths of the community—a capital of the confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares.
And in Palestine, Coates discovers the devastating gap between the narratives we’ve accepted and the clashing reality of life on the ground. He meets with activists and dissidents, Israelis and Palestinians—the old, who remember their dispossessions on two continents, and the young, who have only known struggle and disillusionment. He travels into Jerusalem, the heart of Zionist mythology, and to the occupied territories, where he sees the reality the myth is meant to hide. It is this hidden story that draws him in and profoundly changes him—and makes the war that would soon come all the more devastating.
Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country’s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive nationalist myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.

There he discovers a community of mostly white supporters who were transformed by the “racial reckoning” of 2020. But he also explores the backlash to this reckoning and the deeper myths of the community—a capital of the confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares.
And in Palestine, Coates discovers the devastating gap between the narratives we’ve accepted and the clashing reality of life on the ground. He meets with activists and dissidents, Israelis and Palestinians—the old, who remember their dispossessions on two continents, and the young, who have only known struggle and disillusionment. He travels into Jerusalem, the heart of Zionist mythology, and to the occupied territories, where he sees the reality the myth is meant to hide. It is this hidden story that draws him in and profoundly changes him—and makes the war that would soon come all the more devastating.
Written at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country’s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive nationalist myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.
The Water Dancer
Ta-Nehisi Coates
An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here and here.
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 he’s ever known.
So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s 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 he’s enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hiram’s 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 today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.
Tra me e il mondo
Ta-Nehisi Coates
"Tra me e il mondo" è una lettera che l'autore scrive al figlio Samori nel giorno del suo quindicesimo compleanno. Coates racconta: la storia della sua infanzia nella parte sbagliata di Baltimora, della paura delle strade e delle gang, della scuola, della violenza, della polizia. Vincere questa paura, la paura di perdere il proprio corpo, diventerà lo scopo della sua vita. Per la prima volta la ricostruzione della storia americana riparte da zero; e riparte proprio da Ground Zero - dove ben prima del crollo delle torri gemelle c'era la sede del mercato degli schiavi della città di New York - per arrivare alle continue uccisioni ingiustificate di neri da parte della polizia, una violenza che diventa in questo racconto la storia universale del razzismo. Questo è un libro da cui nessuno uscirà indenne.
We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
Ta-Nehisi Coates
"We were eight years in power" was the lament of Reconstruction-era black politicians as the American experiment in multiracial democracy ended with the return of white supremacist rule in the South. Now Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the tragic echoes of that history in our own time: the unprecedented election of a black president followed by a vicious backlash that fueled the election of the man Coates argues is America's "first white president."
But the story of these present-day eight years is not just about presidential politics. This book also examines the new voices, ideas, and movements for justice that emerged over this period--and the effects of the persistent, haunting shadow of our nation's old and unreconciled history. Coates powerfully examines the events of the Obama era from his intimate and revealing perspective--the point of view of a young writer who begins the journey in an unemployment office in Harlem and ends it in the Oval Office, interviewing a president.
We Were Eight Years in Power features Coates's iconic essays first published in The Atlantic, including Fear of a Black President, The Case for Reparations and The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration, along with eight fresh essays that revisit each year of the Obama administration through Coates's own experiences, observations, and intellectual development, capped by a bracingly original assessment of the election that fully illuminated the tragedy of the Obama era. We Were Eight Years in Power is a vital account of modern America, from one of the definitive voices of this historic moment.
Zwischen mir und der Welt
Ta-Nehisi Coates
Wenn in den USA schwarze Teenager von Polizisten ermordet werden, ist das nur ein Problem von individueller Verfehlung? Nein, denn rassistische Gewalt ist fest eingewebt in die amerikanische Identität – sie ist das, worauf das Land gebaut ist. Afroamerikaner besorgten als Sklaven seinen Reichtum und sterben als freie Bürger auf seinen Straßen. In seinem schmerzhaften, leidenschaftlichen Manifest verdichtet Ta-Nehisi Coates amerikanische und persönliche Geschichte zu einem Appell an sein Land, sich endlich seiner Vergangenheit zu stellen. Sein Buch wurde in den USA zum Nr.-1-Bestseller und ist schon jetzt ein Klassiker, auf den sich zukünftig alle Debatten um Rassismus beziehen werden.
