Description
The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race by Jesmyn Ward. In response to the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States, Jesmyn Ward has gathered a collection of essays, memoir and poems from some of her generation's most original thinkers and writers. The result is a powerful exploration of the darkest corners of history, the current predicament, and a vision for a better future. The book is divided into three parts that shed light on the complexities of race in America. It features ten pieces written specifically for this volume, alongside previously published works by notable authors. Ward's own work serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of Baldwin's 1962 essay "Letter to My Nephew," which was later published in his landmark book The Fire Next Time. This collection is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the ongoing struggle for racial equality in America, and its importance cannot be overstated.
