Powells.com Staff Pick

These brilliant essays, which ultimately form a profound meditation on what it means to be "native" to this complex and brutal country we call America, were originally published in the 1940s and 1950s. Sadly, it came as no surprise to me how timely and important this collection remains today. Baldwin raises many important questions that both demand and deserve discussion, exactly the type of challenging discourse that, if more frequently practiced, could bend this nation in the direction of justice.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Originally published in 1955, James Baldwin's first nonfiction book has become a classic. These searing essays on life in Harlem, the protest novel, movies, and Americans abroad remain as powerful today as when they were written. "He named for me the things you feel but couldn't utter. . . . Jimmy's essays articulated for the first time to white America what it meant to be American and a black American at the same time." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
