In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book’s banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation’s recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book’s longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives and the tragedy in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.
