Une colère noire. Lettre à mon fils

Ta-Nehisi Coates writes this as a letter to his son, which makes the insights feel intimate and urgent. Do readers think this format enhances the message or limits its scope?

The blend of Coates' experiences with broader history made the book feel both specific and universal. How did others interpret the way he weaves personal narrative with social critique?

This framing makes the themes feel direct and personal. I wonder whether Coates considered other formats or if this was always the plan to reach his son more intimately.
