The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

5.0

Everything people say about it held true for me. Ground-breaking, provocative, prescient and timeless. Masterful writing that weaves together personal experience, social commentary and philosophical musings into a powerful, finely-tuned treatise on "the N---o problem," religion and freedom. Gets to the heart of why we must heed the call and reckon with what equality of the races means, lest we ignore the daunting threat of the fire next time.
