Message

For me, the last section of The Message was the most impactful. I am so grateful that Coates returned to “the Palestine question” here and treated it with the care and respect it deserves. It’s refreshing to see a celebrated author admit that he got something wrong.

First time reading Coates--eager to read more. Last 1/3 or 1/2 of the book about his visit to Palestine. Admirable reflection on his evolving views from writing The Case for Reparations to now.

An earnest examination of Coates’ self, history, and previous writing, all while traveling through Senegal, North Carolina, and Palestine. Moving and thought-provoking to be sure.
