Edward Simo

This is an astounding account of the simple truth of matter too long shrouded by conventions of "Complexity". Ta-Nehisi Coates rips away the veil and reveals the intrinsic sameness of European colonial projects from the early modern era to right now. He connects the struggles of the indigenous peoples of these regions, of the African Diaspora and of the consequences of unfettered nationalism. 'The Message' is searing. Mighty. A tome of sacred duty. It asks the questions of culpability that Americans and others too often ignore. It is without a doubt an Important Work and it furthers the traditions of the Vindicationists in a real and profound way. It is easy to find vindication in ones life, in one's own people but he go's further and refuses to accept a liberation that is untethered from all liberation. A monumental act of journalism. A must read in 2024. A genuine yearning for Palestine.
