While discussing the everyday threat to the lives of Black Americans, Abdurraqib recounts the first time he was ordered to the ground by police officers: for attempting to enter his own car.In essays that have been published by the New York Times, MTV, and Pitchfork, among othersalong with original, previously unreleased essaysAbdurraqib uses music and culture as a lens through which to view our world, so that we might better understand ourselves, and in so doing proves himself a bellwether for our times.

I was a bit disappointed with 'They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us'. Some essays felt a little disjointed. I appreciated the effort, but I was looking for a different flow. It still has its moments, though.

Powerful and necessary
This book is a powerful collection that speaks truth to power. Many essays made me reflect on my own life experiences. I absolutely loved it! A rewarding read that I'm sure I'll revisit.

Thought-provoking but a bit uneven
This book has some absolutely beautiful essays. However, I felt that a few of them didn't quite hit the mark for me. Still, it was a worthwhile read, and the author's voice is strong throughout. Definitely worth checking out!

A must-read for anyone!
I bought this book for my friend, and I ended up reading it too! The essays are beautifully crafted, and the themes are super relevant. It's funny, sad, and everything in between. Perfect for book clubs or just a solo read!

Incredible collection of essays!
I really loved reading 'They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us'. The way the author approaches tough topics is both raw and refreshing. Every essay resonated with me, especially the ones about identity and resilience. I finished it in a weekend!
