Coates' gift for wordplay is indisputable.
I really appreciate this as a meditation on black masculinity and the experience of trying to grow into a man in the world where Coates grew up.
The following essay is adapted from Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood".
by Spiegel & Grau I would estimate that I didn't understand fully 1/3 of the book because of not being familiar with so many of the cultural references and words I either hadn't encountered before or for which the meaning was clearly different than I understood it to be.

One of seven children of a black nationalist father, Coates grew up in West Baltimore where he was consistently on the verge of washing out of the educational system entirely. A Unique & Wonderful Read!
This is the most incredible memoir I've ever read. The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons and an Unlikely Road to ManhoodEveryone knows Ta-Nehisi Coates from his more recent Everyone knows Ta-Nehisi Coates from his more recent Along with "Dreams from my Father," I want to add this to the Coming of Age / Memoir unit I teach.
Ta-Nehisi is a fantastic writing, and the book moves along with a lightness and wit (I finished the book in under 24 hours) that belies the seriousness of his subject.Oh man, I just love him.
That he did some of that through considerable violence to his own children was not ironic, but not without cost, either.This is a worthwhile read for those who have read and appreciated This is a worthwhile read for those who have read and appreciated Fantastic memoir.

They exemplify journalism’s highest calling as a discipline of verification. However, I appreciated how the author shares his youth and the stories of his brother and his father and all of the intersections of the three lives. Yes, read this before you read T. Coates other books. Overview. This is totally different from his blog/twitter postings, but equally awesome along a totally different dimension. Take this conversation between father and son:How not to love Ta-Nehisi Coates?
So much fun to read. Great coming of age story for a Black Baltimore boy.What a beautiful story.

Not an easy story, but beautiful, just as the title states.I only understood about 60 - 70% of this memoir, but sometimes it's good to read a book that isn't meant for you. It shows the many paths a young person could take when faced with the results of multi-generational systemic racism and focuses on the father, the author, and an older brother. The Beautiful Struggle is a lyrical journey through West Baltimore and sheds more detailed light on some of the incidents mentioned in his second book.
Unfortunately, it felt pushed and, to me, sounded like a long list of summary sentences, rather than a flow of events. An uncompromising father and two of his sons: one drawn to the streets and violence of West Baltimore, another more interested in Dungeons and Dragons but needing to know how to survive the streets. However, I appreciated how the author shares his youth and the stories of his brother and his father and all of the intersections of the three lives.
