  • Summary

  • On the heels of his latest book The Message, author Ta-Nehisi Coates joins Sam for a conversation in Los Angeles.

    At the top, they discuss how The Case for Reparations first guided these essays (5:00), Coates’ early education growing up in West Baltimore (13:00), and his powerful, recent dispatches from South Carolina (21:00) and Palestine (28:34).

    On the back-half, Coates reflects on his ten-day trip to the Middle East (35:10), why he believes the mainstream media prioritizes “factual complexity over self-evident morality” (39:20), and this week’s U.S. election (44:50). To close, a formative passage from James Baldwin (50:40) and a story about love and writing (55:37).
