We Were Eight Years In Power is a collection of Coates’ essays written about race, history, and power during the eight years of Obama’s presidency. Many of the essays were previously published in The Atlantic, and then Coates augmented the book with eight new essays, one written for each year of the Obama era. Put together, they provide an important element for processing modern day America: context. A critical look at race in the U.S., delivered with Coates’ characteristic thoughtfulness and wisdom, We Were Eight Years In Power situates the current social, political, and cultural conversations we’re having as a country within the larger web of history, making it a must-read. (Also, it goes without saying, read his award winning book Between The World and Me.)
