”A seminal meditation on race by one of our greatest writers” Barack Obama
”We, the black and the white, deeply need each other here if we are really to become a nation”
James Baldwin”s impassioned plea to ”end the racial nightmare” in America was a bestseller when it appeared in 1963, galvanising a nation and giving voice to the emerging civil rights movement. Told in the form of two intensely personal ”letters”, The Fire Next Time is at once a powerful evocation of Baldwin”s early life in Harlem and an excoriating condemnation of the terrible legacy of racial injustice.
”Sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle … all presented in searing, brilliant prose” The New York Times Book Review
”Baldwin writes with great passion … it reeks of truth, as the ghettoes of New York and London, Chicago and Manchester reek of our hypocrisy” Sunday Times
”The great poet-prophet of the civil rights movement … his seminal work” Guardian
