James Baldwin on Race in America (Part Two)

Continuing on I Am Not Your Negro, "Notes of a Native Son" (1955), and The Fire Next Time (1963).

We (and Law Ware) discuss Baldwin's critique of the American dream, how to oppose the inhumanity of others without becoming inhuman yourself, and Baldwin's take on religion. Plus, was the the documentary actually good as a film?

This continues part 1, or get the unbroken, ad-free Citizen Edition.

Supplement this with the Phi Fic discussion (featuring Mark!) on Baldwin's short stories “This Morning, This Evening, So Soon” (1960) and “Sonny’s Blues” (1957).

End song: "Dawning on Me" by Mark Lint feat. Ken Stringfellow, who was interviewed on Nakedly Examined Music ep. 39. Read about it.
