No Name in the Street

<''Baldwin wrote in arias of feeling and thought... [He] proved that if he wrote it down, it could have power beyond the moment.'' - Hilton Als
In this deeply personal book, Baldwin reflects on the experiences that shaped him as a writer and activist: from his childhood in Harlem to the deaths Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Exploring the visceral reality of life in the American South as well as Baldwin''s impressions of London, Paris and Hamburg, No Name in the Street grapples with the failed promises of global liberation movements in fearless, candid prose.
Timeless, tender and profound, Baldwin''s searing narrative contains the multiplicities of what it means to be Black in America and, indeed, around the world.<>
