James Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name records the last months of this famed American writer's 10-year self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip south at the time of the school integration battles. It contains Baldwin's controversial and intimate profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman.

Nobody Knows My Name

I enjoyed this reading !! The book was gripping. And this reading is also as compelling. Loved it!!

Absolutely Timeless

Baldwin loved America so much that he eloquently took her to task. Fiercely. Honestly. Compassionately.

amazing ! all around story telling, and humor is

humourous throughout, but his story telling keeps you engaged, remarkable work, puts me in awe, I'm ready for the next work

Reflection and Destruction of Whiteness

Baldwin reflects on the destruction cause by the history of slavery and how it permeated the cultures throughout the world. He note the various transitions and transgressions nations have endured to perpetuate the myth of black inferiority. He notes the mental, and physical harm that coincides with false ideologies and how it contaminates the victims and the perpetrators. Baldwin is talking about the beginning of the Great Migration to the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement. What is hunting is so much of what he is talking about is still prevalent today.

enlightening

this is my second time and more knowledge was gain as adult, compared to when I read it as a teen.
