An essential compendium of James Baldwin’s most powerful nonfiction work, calling on us “to end the racial nightmare, and achieve our country.”

Personal and prophetic, these essays uncover what it means to live in a racist American society with insights that feel as fresh today as they did over the four decades in which he composed them. Longtime Baldwin fans and especially those just discovering his genius will appreciate this essential collection of his great nonfiction writing. Along with 46 additional pieces, it includes the full text of dozens of famous essays from such books as:

Notes of a Native Son
Nobody Knows My Name
The Fire Next Time
No Name in the Street
The Devil Finds Work

This collection provides the perfect entrée into Baldwin’s prescient commentary on race, sexuality, and identity in an unjust American society.

This collection included many essays I had read but even more that I had not. It is a must have for any child of Baldwin. He NEVER disappoints.

How do you critique James Baldwin? What a wonderful insight from the African American point of view. Baldwin was a master of painting a picture of how history was unfolding for him. Living in the rural Midwest I have had my eyes opened to his struggles.
