Summary:
James Baldwin was a uniquely prophetic voice in American letters. His brilliant and provocative essays made him the literary voice of the Civil Rights Era, and they continue to speak with powerful urgency to us today, whether in the swirling debate over the Black Lives Matter movement or in the words of Raoul Peck's documentary "I Am Not Your Negro." Edited by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, the Library of America's Collected Essays is the most comprehensive gathering of Baldwin's nonfiction ever published. With burning passion and jabbing, epigrammatic wit, Baldwin fearlessly articulated issues of race and democracy and American identity in such famous essays as "The Harlem Ghetto," "Everybody's Protest Novel," "Many Thousands Gone," and "Stranger in the Village." Here are the complete texts of his early landmark collections, Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961), which established him as an essential intellectual voice of his time, fusing in unique fashion the personal, the literary, and the political.

Summary:
Réputé pour son engagement dans le mouvement des droits civiques, James Baldwin n’a eu de cesse de sonder et de décortiquer la société américaine. Dans ce recueil de textes inédits – nouvelle, essais, discours, conférences, lettres –, la puissance de la pensée baldwinienne scintille à chaque page. Il s’interroge sur la possibilité d’un président afro- américain, dénonce le racisme d’État, analyse l’hypocrisie du fondamentalisme religieux, livre ses réflexions sur les relations entre Noirs et Juifs et ses impressions sur le blues et la boxe. Ses phrases serpentent à travers les questions et en ressortent teintées de lumière. Baldwin sait nous emmener là où il veut pour nous offrir une vue de l’Amérique du milieu du siècle dernier... mais aussi de celle d’aujourd’hui, plus que jamais en proie à ses tourments et à ses démons.
