The beautiful struggle : a memoir

Coates, Ta-Nehisi (author.). Coates, Ta-Nehisi Adaptation of (expression): Beautiful struggle. (Added Author).

Summary: As a child, Coates was seen by his father 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. -- adapted from jacket
