CState Book Club selects “Between the World and Me” for Feb. 22 meeting

The Cincinnati State Book Club invites all faculty and staff members to join the club meeting on Thursday, February 22, for a discussion of Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Library Conference Room.

Between the World and Me, which won the National Book Award for Non-Fiction in 2015, and was selected for numerous “best book of the year” lists, is described by the publisher as “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 [and] offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history [of racial injustice] and current crisis.”

Written as a letter from Coates to his adolescent son, the book “clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.”
