Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own
by Eddie S Glaude Jr
**Winner of the Stowe Prize 2021**
**Shortlisted for the British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding 2021**
“This title is written by a man who has been reading James Baldwin—both as a professor and as a African American who wants to understand the world he’s in—for most of his adult life. He has taken not the fiction of Baldwin, but the nonfiction, starting with The Fire Next Time (published in 1963) and going on through the seventies and right up until his death in 1987.” Read more...

It’s a nice entry point to early nineteenth-century black life in the United States. It’s an intellectual history, a political history and a religious history, beautifully written and filled with engaging figures from this period.” Read more...
