An extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies that displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works, and powerfully speaks to contemporary conversations around racism. "It contains truth that cannot be denied.” — The Atlantic Monthly In this stunningly personal document, James Baldwin remembers in vivid details the Harlem childhood that shaped his early conciousness and the later events that scored his heart with pain—the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his retum to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

Daddy, the great good friend of the Great God Almighty, had simply fled the South. #3 After the march, I began to think about my life and the people I had met. I began to wonder if the people in power really cared about the people they were supposed to serve. #4 The fact that I had made it, that I could sign a check anywhere in the world, meant that I had betrayed the people who had produced me. I could never live up to their expectations of me.
