Novelist essayist and public intellectual - James Baldwin is widely regarded as one of the
greatest writers of the twentieth century. This Everyman's Library collection includes his
bestselling galvanizing essay The Fire Next Time -which gave voice to the emerging civil
rights movement of the 1960s and still lights the way to understanding race in America
today-along with three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and
analyst of culture. From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties
and early seventies to the "passionate probing controversial" (The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My
Name and the incisive criticism of American movies in The Devil Finds Work Baldwin's stunning
prose over and over proves relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality justice and
social change.
