Description
James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own by Eddie S. Glaude Jr. In this powerful study, Eddie S. Glaude Jr. explores how James Baldwin's struggle to confront the lies about race in America can inform our own moment of reckoning. Drawing on newly uncovered interviews with Baldwin, as well as history and memoir, Glaude finds hope and guidance in Baldwin's work as he examines the painful cycle of Black resistance and white retrenchment. Glaude argues that when faced with the truth and justice of the civil rights movement, America has often responded with blind rage and violence. In our own time, this pattern has repeated itself, from the Obama presidency to the rise of Trump and white nationalism. Begin Again is a searing exploration of the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America. Through Baldwin's words and Glaude's analysis, this book offers a hopeful vision for how we can begin again and work towards a more just society.
