This is the first Baldwin essay I ever read, and I was breath-taken. He remains one of my favorite authors of all time.
The fact that this essay is written as a letter to his nephew adds yet another layer of humanity and emotionality.
It is horrifying to realize the depth of this essay’s relevance 60 years after it’s publication. It is inconceivable.

There's not a lot of detailed description of horrible things in here, but this book is about race in the time of the civil rights movement, so expect all the usual suspects of that era to be addressed.leannanecdote's review against another edition
