Begin Again; James Baldwin's America and it's Urgent Lessons for Our Own

United States of America: Crown, 2020. Later printing. Hardcover. New/new. 239pp. [21.5 cm] Cream colored paper over boards with red text on spine. Red and taupe illustrated dust jacket. "In the story of Baldwin’s crucible, Glaude suggests, we can find hope and guidance through our own after times, this Trumpian era of shattered promises and white retrenchment. Mixing biography—drawn partially from newly uncovered interviews—with history, memoir, and trenchant analysis of our current moment, Begin Again is Glaude’s endeavor, following Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in America today. It is at once a searing exploration that lays bare the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America.
