"For Power truly to feel itself menaced, it must somehow sense itself in the presence of another power": First Edition of James Baldwin's No Name in the Street; Signed by Him
First edition of Baldwin's classic collection of nonfiction writings. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author, "To Kathleen James Baldwin." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Bob Korn. Jacket photograph by Bob Adelman.
This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early conciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain—the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his retum to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face. “More eloquent than W. E. B. DuBois, more penetrating than Richard Wright.... It contains truth that cannot be denied" (The Atlantic Monthly).
