Publisher Description We, the black and the white, deeply need each other here if we are really to become a nationJames Baldwins 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 Baldwins 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 ReviewBaldwin 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 Author Biography James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York.
