Baldwin's finest work May 2, 2001
24 out of 24 found this review helpful
This essay collection is divided into two parts: "My Dungeon Shook" and "Down at the Cross". "Dungeon" is the shorter of the two pieces and is addressed to Baldwin's nephew. Baldwin tells his nephew how to survive living in a racist society (USA of 1960's). The second essay in the collection deals with the Black Islam Movement. Baldwin attacks the ideas of this movement and calls for an end to prejudice. The language, imagery, and ideas Baldwin uses in these two essays is absolutely brilliant. This book receives my highest recommendation.
