ldpaige's review against another edition

You were not expected to aspire to excellence: you were expected to make peace with mediocrity.
For the horrors of the American Negro’s life there has been almost no language.
Beautiful. Stunning. I wish the pacing was the same between the letter and the essay, but you need to sit with both texts to truly hear Baldwin. I loved this read and highlighted so much.
The Black American experience through the eyes of Baldwin is just irreplaceable.

There's not a lot of detailed description of horrible things in here, but this book is about race in the time of the civil rights movement, so expect all the usual suspects of that era to be addressed.leannanecdote's review against another edition
