FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates about Coates' new book, The Message. Coates’ website describes this part of the book this way: “Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.”

This conversation was co-sponsored by the Beinart Notebook and Jewish Currents and produced by Jesse Brenneman. Original music by Jalal Yacquoub.
