"Our eight-year power" is the wail of the black politicians in the reconstruction era. Because the American experiment in multiethnic democracy ended with the reversion of southern Caucasian supremacist rule. In the new selection of this article, Ta - Nehisi Coates explored the tragic ripple effect of our own era. A vicious circle that unleashed elections of the presidential nominees and the candidates for the subsequent Coates election. This is "America's first white president".

But the story of the current eight years is not only related to presidential politics. This book will also explore new voices, thoughts, and movements of justice that appeared during this period - and the constant shadow in ancient and harmonious history of our country. From his intimate and emotional point of view, Coats strongly saw the events of the Obama era - the journal in the unemployed office of Harlem and the view of a young writer who ended in the oval office. The president

A symbolic article on Coates was published for the first time in the Atlantic, including "fear to the Black President", "compensation case", "black family of the mass prison era era", and 8 new articles through Coats. Their own experiences, observations, and intellectual developments revisit the preliminary assessment of the elections which clearly clarifies the Obama administration's annual and Obama era tragedy. Our 8 year management is an important story of contemporary America which is one of authorities from this historical moment.

"Essential ... Coates's essay on race, politics and history is the pressure that is needed for the moment of the gravity of the country." - Boston Globe

His new book, "Our 8 Years of Power: American Tragedies" keeps track of this improvement. Among them, he gathered articles he wrote for the Atlantic during the term of President Barack Obama, and interspersed with autobiographical articles. The book was put on sale on Tuesday and the tour of his book at the King's Theater in Brooklyn sold out - far from his early career intimacy. In early September one month before the book is published, Coats will conduct preliminary reading with a soul food restaurant in the Harlem district, BLVD Bistro holding brick walls hidden behind Brownstone's 1st floor It was.

Our 8 - year rule is basically a collection of eight frequently long articles intertwined with introductory articles from each of the eight articles published by Coates, basically during President Barack Obama 's term of office. The latter explains Coates's early life when he tried to be a writer, and when he succeeded, when he was surprised. I have read some of these articles, usually in Atlantic abbreviations, but it is the second time I noticed a deeper and more sincere understanding of our country's original sin.
