Really excellent. Thoughtful discussion on Black life in the 1960’s but still just as applicable today. Baldwin writes so clearly and dissects topics such as race, gender, and religion, making direct and thought provoking points along the way. Highly recommend.

I’m very happy this is the last book of my 2024.
I think this is a book everyone needs to read, specifically black americans, especially if that project 2025 ban on books will be put in place.
There’s a lot to learn and take from what James Baldwin said within these lines.

A quick look into American blackness and religion, a must read work. Will probably re read again.
I took a while to finish but great book! You really need to be in a clear-minded headspace when reading this book. This book felt like I was reading someone’s journal, which was beautifully & poetically written. Definitely recommend reading for those that want to challenge their thinking and want a better understanding of colorism, racism, or systematic racism.
Incredible to think a book that was first published in 1963 is still as relevant today as it was back then

Over 60 years old and still, unfortunately, applies to today. James Baldwin was a genius.

i need to sit and think about this for a while, i think. the audiobook was beautiful, but i wish i could keep perusing through the pages of a physical copy.
