James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a prolific writer and activist whose works often explored themes of race, sexuality, and identity in America. His novels and essays, including “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” “Giovanni’s Room,” and “The Fire Next Time” delve deep into the complexities of societal injustice. The Fire Next Time features the first appearance in book form of Down at the Cross and My Dungeon Shook, previously serialized in The New Yorker and The Progressive.
