Reseña del editor
Warns citizens to examine the actual state of America, the role of blacks, and race relations after a century of Emancipation.
Nota de la solapa
estseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A stirring, intimate reflection on the nature of race and American nationhood that has inspired generations of writers and thinkers, first published in 1963, the same year as the March on Washington The finest essay I ve ever read. Ta-Nehisi Coates, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the National Book Award winner Between the World and MeWith clarity, conviction, and passion, James Baldwin delivers a dire warning of the effects of racism that remains urgent nearly sixty years after its original publication.In the first of two essays, My Dungeon Shook: Letter to My Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Emancipation, Baldwin offers kind and unflinching counsel on what it means to be Black in the United States and explains the twisted logic of American racism.In Down at the Cross: Letter from a Region in My Mind, Baldwin recounts his spiritual journey into the church after a religious crisis at the age of fourteen, and then back out of it again, as well as his meeting with Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Throughout, Baldwin urges us to confront the oppressive institutions of race, religion, and nationhood itself, and insists that shared resilience among both Black and white people is the only way forward. As much as it is a reckoning with America s racist past, The Fire Next Time is also a clarion call to care, courage, and love, and a candle to light the way. Artikel-Nr. 9780679601517
