Racism, as a dominant theme in American literature, is one of the most controversial issues that writers have been tackling for decades already. In sociology, it is defined as an ideology that posits statuses or classes regarding racial groups that are based on the differences perceived by them. Although races should not actually mean disparity in how they are distinguished, the idea of racism forwards this kind of narrative (Nittle, 2021). It had quite established its mark on literature when the onset of this concept brought a terrible implied truth to society and changed the perception of many.

Now, as the country turned its page to a chapter where America’s history revealed this context about the situations of unequal and discriminative reasons why racism occurred, the story “Between the World and Me” was written by Ta Nehisi Coates in the year 2014 and was published the following year. As the author of the book, Ta Nehisi Coates has notably written this work in presentation and reflection of his life under the American circumstances he experienced as a part of the black race. Ta-Nehisi Coates was born to Cheryl Waters and Paul Coates, who is a former local captain of the Black Panther Party and founder of Black Classic Press (Seresin, 2016). Significantly, his name Ta-Nehisi came from an Egyptian word for Nubia, which can be roughly translated to “land of the black.”

So, this particular novel attempts to answer the inquiries that he wanted his son to know about the history of America; revealing and addressing the issues regarding racism through the form of a letter. This analysis and criticism then focused and limits the literary quest on a Marxist approach that gradually uncovered and presented the aspects of racism in the context of education, governance, and the societal status experienced by Samori’s Father as a black individual in the United States.
