Title: Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent
Lessons for Our Own
Author: Eddie S. Glaude Jr.
*************************************************************
Book Descriptions: James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the
failure of the civil rights movement to force America to
confront its lies about race. In the era of Trump, what can we
learn from his struggle?Searing, provocative, and ultimately
hopeful . . . Begin Again challenges, illuminates, and points us
toward if not a more perfect union then at least a more just
one.--Jon MeachamWe live, according to Eddie S. Glaude Jr., in
the after times, when the promise of Black Lives Matter and the
attempt to achieve a new America were challenged by the election
of Donald Trump, a racist president whose victory represents yet
another failure of America to face the lies it tells itself
about race.We have been here before: For James Baldwin, the
after times came in the wake of the civil rights movement, when
a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the
truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X,
and Martin Luther King, Jr. In these years, spanning from the
publication of The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in
the Street in 1972, Baldwin transformed into a more overtly
political writer, a change that came at great professional and
personal cost. But from that journey, Baldwin emerged with a
sense of renewed purpose about the necessity of pushing forward
in the face of disillusionment and despair.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.Advance praise for Begin AgainA penetrating study of how
the words of James Baldwin continue to have (often painful)
relevance today. . . . In prose that is eloquent and
impassioned--sometimes hopeful, sometimes not--the author
presses his fingers on our bruises, the ones many of us would
prefer to ignore. . . . Baldwin's genius glimmers throughout as
Glaude effectively demonstrates how truth does not die with the
one who spoke it.--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
