ABOUT TA-NEHISI'S WORK
Ta-Nehisi Coates is a journalist, blogger, and memoirist who brings personal reflection and historical scholarship to bear on America’s most contested issues. Writing without shallow polemic and in a measured style, Coates addresses complex and challenging issues such as racial identity, systemic racial bias, and urban policing. He subtly embeds the present—in the form of anecdotes about himself or others—into historical analysis in order to illustrate how the implications of the past are still experienced by people today.

In a series of blog posts about the Civil War and a long-form print essay on “The Case for Reparations” (2014), Coates grapples with the rationalizations for slavery and their persistence in twentieth-century policies like Jim Crow and redlining—the practice of denying loans and other financial services to African Americans. In “Reparations” Coates compellingly argues for remuneration for the economic impact on African Americans denied the ability to accumulate wealth or social status for generations. At once deeply felt and intensely researched, the essay prompted a national conversation.

Coates opens a window to the formation of his worldview in his memoir, The Beautiful Struggle (2008), a reflection on race, class, and masculinity told through the lens of growing up in Baltimore as the son of a former Black Panther. Coates describes the evolution of his views on constructions of race in Between the World and Me (2015). In this passionate and lyrical book-length essay addressed to his teenage son, he unflinchingly articulates the physical and mental experience of being a black man in America today. A highly distinctive voice, Coates is emerging as a leading interpreter of American concerns to a new generation of media-savvy audiences and having a profound impact on the discussion of race and racism in this country.

BIOGRAPHY
Ta-Nehisi Coates attended Howard University. His articles have appeared in local and national publications, including the Village Voice, the Washington City Paper, the Washington Post, the New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, where he is currently a national correspondent. He was a Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012 and a journalist-in-residence at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism in 2014.

关于塔-内希西的作品
塔-内西-科茨是一位记者、博客作者和回忆录作家，他将个人反思和历史学术研究带到了美国最具争议的问题上。科茨的写作没有浅薄的论证，风格严谨，他探讨了复杂而具有挑战性的问题，如种族认同、系统性的种族偏见和城市治安。他巧妙地将现在--关于他自己或其他人的轶事--嵌入到历史分析中，以说明过去的影响如何仍然被今天的人们所经历。

在一系列关于内战的博客文章和一篇关于 "赔偿案例"（2014年）的长篇印刷文章中，科茨努力探讨奴隶制的合理性及其在二十世纪的政策中的持续存在，如吉姆-克罗和重新划线--拒绝向非裔美国人提供贷款和其他金融服务的做法。在 "赔偿 "中，科茨令人信服地论证了对被剥夺了几代人积累财富或社会地位能力的非裔美国人的经济影响进行赔偿。这篇文章既有深刻的感受，又有深入的研究，引发了一场全国性的对话。

科茨在他的回忆录《美丽的斗争》（The Beautiful Struggle）（2008年）中为他的世界观的形成打开了一扇窗，这本书通过在巴尔的摩成长为一名前黑豹党员的儿子的镜头讲述了对种族、阶级和男子气概的思考。科茨在《世界与我之间》（2015）中描述了他对种族结构的看法的演变。在这篇写给他十几岁儿子的充满激情和抒情的长篇文章中，他坚定不移地阐述了作为当今美国黑人的身体和精神体验。作为一个非常独特的声音，科茨正在成为新一代精通媒体的观众对美国问题的主要诠释者，并对这个国家的种族和种族主义的讨论产生了深刻的影响。
