The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

5.0

Wow. James Baldwin wrote this book in 1963 and boy was he ahead of his time. Reading The Fire Next Time, I could not help but be blown away by how smart and insightful Baldwin is.

During the civil rights movement, there were many different groups and approaches receiving extensive airtime and celebrity. Despite this, Baldwin is unabashedly an independent thinker who follows his own moral compass. Beautifully written.
