Synopsis
The Modern Library edition of the book that William Styron said shook the conscience of a nation. This is James Baldwin's call for activism "to end the racial nightmare... and change the history of the world." Includes the long essay/sermon "Down at the Cross", his commentary on the rise of the Nation of Islam in America, and an argument against separatism and for self-esteem among blacks. Baldwin also makes the point that Christianity is a form of slavery, originally forced on blacks and eventually embraced by them.

Publisher's Note
A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.

At once a powerful evocation of his childhood in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, The Fire Next Time, which galvanized the nation in the early days of the Civil Rights movement, stands as one of the essential works of our literature. (Vintage)February

Industry Reviews
"One wonders why [the author] is so hard on the Apostle Paul, whose stormy career was dedicated to a transracial and transnational concept of love--love on the wide and practical scale--that is not so unlike the ideal commended by Mr. Baldwin. But the author's private views need not close our eyes to his firm, sound stand on the ground of our common humanity, our desperate need of one another. Would that his compelling words might be generally accepted before the fire of racial conflict is allowed to destroy the unfinished business of Emancipation's second century!"
Saturday Review - John La Farge (02/02/1963)

"Baldwin uses words as the sea uses waves, to flow and beat, advance and retreat, rise and take a bow in disappearing....The thought becomes poetry and the poetry illuminates the thought."
Langston Hughes
