Ta-Nehisi Coates with Chris Jackson
Our guest is Ta-Nehisi Coates, one of today\u2019s most respected voices on race relations in the United States. Catapulted to fame with the publication of \u201cBetween The World And Me,\u201d Coates has maintained his focus on institutional injustice, as well as the very personal work of honing his writing craft. In his newest work, Coates tackles fiction. \u201cThe Water Dancer\u201d merges slave narrative and fantasy, and draws on historical research. On October 15, 2019, Ta-Nehisi Coates came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater to talk with his editor Chris Jackson about writing his first novel.
