Produktbeschreibung
When the most eloquent voice of a generation returned home, America was forced to hear the truth it had been avoiding. James Baldwin left America an unknown novelist in 1948. He returned in 1957 as a literary sensation-and stepped directly into the heart of the Civil Rights revolution. What followed was the most transformative, turbulent, and consequential decade of his life. James Baldwin: A Life in Four Acts, Volume 3 chronicles Baldwin's journey from 1957 to 1968, when he became America's moral conscience. This is the story of how a writer became a prophet, how celebrity collided with activism, and how one man's unflinching honesty changed the national conversation about race forever. From his first shocking encounters with Jim Crow in the Deep South to his explosive confrontation with Bobby Kennedy. From the triumph of The Fire Next Time to the tragedy of Martin Luther King's assassination. From television debates that transfixed millions to private moments of doubt and despair. David G. Stone reveals the man behind the icon-brilliant, complicated, exhausted, and absolutely necessary. This volume captures Baldwin at his peak: writing masterpieces while bearing witness to history, challenging both white liberals and Black militants, loving America enough to tell it the hardest truths. You'll walk beside him through Birmingham and Selma, sit with him as he debates William F. Buckley at Cambridge, and feel his grief as the movement he championed fragments and its leaders fall. The fire burned. The prophet spoke. America would never be the same. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Civil Rights era, the power of moral witness, or the burden of speaking truth in a nation that refuses to listen. Volume 3 of the definitive four-part biography of James Baldwin.
