Beschreibung

<p><b>'Sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle ... all presented in searing, brilliant prose' <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b></p><p><i>We, the black and the white, deeply need each other here if we are really to become a nation</i><br><br>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', <i>The Fire Next Time</i> is at once a powerful evocation of Baldwin's early life in Harlem and an excoriating condemnation of the terrible legacy of racial injustice.</p><p><b>'A seminal meditation on race by one of our greatest writers' Barack Obama</b></p><p><b>'Baldwin writes with great passion ... it reeks of truth, as the ghettoes of New York and London, Chicago and Manchester reek of our hypocrisy' <i>Sunday Times</i></b></p><p><b>'The great poet-prophet of the civil rights movement ... his seminal work' <i>Guardian</i></b></p>
