AMERIE'S BOOK CLUB INAUGURAL PICK | Nov 2019 The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

I am excited to announce Amerie's Book Club! After thinking about it for years, it's finally here, and will live on social media--both YouTube and Instagram.

Amerie's Book Club will highlight diverse and unique perspectives and voices, and it is my hope that we can all come together to listen, to be heard, to embrace and celebrate our differences, and to come away somewhat changed.

This November, join me in diving into #ABC's inaugural pick, Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Water Dancer. I've made no secret how much I love and appreciate Ta-Nehisi Coates' nonfiction works. They are powerful and important and unflinchingly honest. In his debut novel, The Water Dancer, Coates pulls together that which made his non-fiction so eye-opening, and weaves a narrative that pulled me into a world both beautiful and terrifying, leaving me to ponder what I might have done, what my ancestors most certainly endured. More than an enslavement narrative, Coates exposes the psychological self-deception of those in power to simply maintain the structure of slavery, itself, while making human those who have become no more than statistics or faceless names in history; no easy feat, but he accomplishes it with aplomb.

Pick up the book and join the conversation! I can't wait to read and talk with you.

Happy reading,
Amerie
