BALDWIN, James
The Fire Next Time

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.
