Black Men Read: The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Join your fellow Black Men Read book club members alongside a librarian at Countee Cullen Library for an in-depth discussion of The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children—the violent and capricious separation of families—and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.

Come prepared to delve deeper into the book's themes and topics, and to discuss what intrigued you most about Ta-Nehisi Coates work at Countee Cullen Library.
