The Evidence of Things Not Seen by James Baldwin
informative
reflective
4.5
The Evidence of Things Not Seen by James Baldwin is a analysis of the crimes now known as “The Atlanta Child Murders” and the scene for this period set by failed integration. I am planning to do an annotated reread this summer!
This book was such a good reflection of the intersection of identity with crime and the legal section (both as a victim and perpetrator). He also offers general reflections on identity and history of black people in the city.
As a confessed “outsider” who isn’t from the south, he offers specific and astute observations of the victims, their families, the treatment of the crimes and the legal process.
