Fire Next Time
SYNOPSIS
At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document from the iconic author of If Beale Street Could Talk and Go Tell It on the Mountain. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described byThe New York Times Book Reviewas "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose,"The Fire Next Timestands as a classic of literature.
REVIEWS
"Basically the finest essay I've ever read. . . . Baldwin refused to hold anyone's hand. He was both direct and beautiful all at once. He did not seem to write to convince you. He wrote beyond you.' --Ta-Nehisi Coates

REVIEWS
importante reflexão sobre o racismo sistémico
tf
Este livro é uma obra fundamental na percepção da complexidade do racismo sistémico nos EUA. É também um forte apelo ao diálogo e ao encontro entre várias vozes. É sobre os EUA mas aplica-se a toda a humanidade, recomendo a todos os leitores que se interessem por direitos humanos.
