No Name in the Street (Vintage International) by James Baldwin (EPUB)

Description

From one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century—an extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies that powerfully speaks to contemporary conversations around racism. “It contains truth that cannot be denied.” —The Atlantic MonthlyIn this stunningly personal document, James Baldwin remembers in vivid details the Harlem childhood that shaped his early conciousness and the later events that scored his heart with pain—the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his retum to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Baldwin’s lucid, urgent prose could have been very well written in this era, where racial, cultural and political conflict continues to rend not only America, but global landscapes. This is a must read.

⭐This was the fourth book I read from James Baldwin, after The Fire Next Time, Go tell it On The Mountain and No Name In The Street. I thought The Fire Next Time would be his best book that he can’t top but this proved me wrong. This one of the most enlightening books I have ever read. I believe Baldwin should be a part of the curriculum. What he writes about is far from what people might call “Black History”, he treats the social ills in America as “American History”- and rightfully so. Anyone who cares about America should read this

⭐I am a big James Baldwin fan and I ordered the book to add to my collection. Well worth the price and the wait!

⭐This is the third book I read by this Masterful writer and his ability to draw you with his color commentary. in addition to James was so detailed by encapsulating your mind bringing you into his current state and time and the most fascinating part is that from the time from that this book was written not much has changed in some regards but again this shows how special he was and read this gift he left us his concusiness remains with thru these types of amazing bodies of work .

⭐it was like reading a little bit of history and reveling insights from James Baldwin,

⭐I gave this book 5 stars because James Baldwin is an incredible writer. II recently read Eddie Glaude’s book Begin Again in which Glaude references Baldwin’s books The Fire Next Time & No Name In The Street and decided to read the source material in full. In reading all three books I found what I already knew, very little, if anything, has changed in the country since Baldwin wrote his accounts. And that is very discouraging. Even so, I highly recommend all three books.

⭐Baldwin is one of the great American writers of the 20th century. This is a critical analysis of the times. In places bitter, in places taking the long view of history. But always in step with the man in the street.

⭐James Baldwin is a riveting writer, in his language and imagery, of course, but also in his bold honesty. His anger at and his love for America both shine through. He wrote this book in the midst of the racial turmoil of the late sixties, but he speaks for today.

⭐Great find

⭐top notch writing and powerful. esp in these days of Blacklives matter
