No Name in the Street

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.
