A review by steen
The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

5.0

Baldwin emotionally deconstructs white power and the precarious institutions that it has built itself on: race, heteronormative sexuality, economics (capitalism), body politics, colonialism, and religious superiority.

Every word drips with passion and the scorching truth of the white power that controls and diminishes black men from birth to death.

These essays stand the test of time, and are ever more relevant in the current political and ideological landscape of so many Western nations.
