A powerful set of first person essays on injustice that serve to emphasize the parallels - and hard links of funding and culture - between systemic racism in America and in Israel. Its point is not to provide a comprehensive overview of the problem, but to shine a light through a particular lens into it. The result is compelling and tragic. A portrait of occupation and oppression which is easier to overlook than face.

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.
