A short, powerful memoir from one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century

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 Jr. 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.
