It’s Baldwin, of course it’s immaculately written, every paragraph worth being in awe of. However, the political message seemed very weak. Maybe it’s because it was written 60+ years ago but i feel that it lacking a critique of capitalism leaves out a fundamental aspect of black (and brown and lgbt and all other) oppression. It however was beautiful in it’s description of growing up as a marginalized person.

Stunning. You’ve underlined parts of this book. Go back occasionally and re-read those.
