7 hours 44 minutes James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the failure of the Civil Rights movement to force America to confront its lies about race In the era of Trump what can we learn from his struggleNot everything is lost Responsibility cannot be lost it can only be abdicated If one refuses abdication one begins again James BaldwinWe live according to Eddie S Glaude Jr in the after times when the promise of Black Lives Matter and the attempt to achieve a new America was met with the election of Donald Trump a racist president whose victory represents yet another failure of America to face the lies it tells itself about raceWe have been here before For James Baldwin the after times came in the wake of the Civil Rights movement when a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr In these years spanning from the publication of The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in the Street in 1972 Baldwin was transformed into a more overtly political writer a change that came at great professional and personal cost But from that journey Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about the necessity of pushing forward in the face of disillusionment and despairIn the story of Baldwins crucible Glaude suggests we can find hope and guidance through our own after times this Trumpian era of shattered promises and white retrenchment Mixing biographydrawn partially from newly uncovered interviewswith history memoir and trenchant analysis of our current moment Begin Again is Glaudes attempt following Baldwin to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in America today It is at once a searing exploration that lays bare the tangled web of race trauma and memory and a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America.

\" Into the Cannibal\'s Pot: Lessons for America from post-Apartheid South Africa is a polemical work anchored in history, reality, fact, and the political philosophy of classical liberalism. It is a manifesto against mass society, arguing against raw, ripe, democracy, here (in the US), there (in South Africa), and everywhere. Into the Cannibal\'s Pot follows Russell Kirk\'s contention that true freedom can be found only within the framework of a social order. It is a reminder that, however imperfect, civilized societies are fragile. They can, and will, crumble in culturally inhospitable climes. The tyranny of political correctness, so unique to the West plays a role in their near-collapse. Advanced societies don\'t just die they either wither from within, or, like South Africa, are finished off by other western societies. Ilana Mercer delivers a compelling book it is required reading for thinking people who care about the destiny of western civilization. A bold, thought-provoking pathway to the national solidarity that could, finally, address the ills of racism in AmericaRacism is an existential threat to America, Theodore R. Johnson declares at the start of his profound and exhilarating book. It is a refutation of the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal. And yet racism continues to corrode our society. If we cannot overcome it, Johnson argues, while the United States will remain as a geopolitical entity, the promise that made America unique on Earth will have died.When the Stars Begin to Fall makes a compelling, ambitious case for a pathway to the national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving memories of his own and his family\'s multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, into his elegant narrative, Johnson posits that a blueprint for national solidarity can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society--not a color-blind one--is the true fulfillment of the American Promise.Fueled by Johnson\'s ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family\'s longstanding optimism and his own military service, When the Stars Begin to Fall is an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable. A stunning follow up to New York Times bestseller Tears We Cannot StopIn 2015 BLM activist Julius Jones confronted Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with an urgent query: What in your heart has changed that\'s going to change the direction of this country? I don\'t believe you just change hearts, she protested. I believe you change laws.The fraught conflict between conscience and politics - between morality and power - in addressing race hardly began with Clinton. An electrifying and traumatic encounter in the sixties crystallized these furious disputes.In 1963 Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America. Baldwin brought along some friends, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and a valiant activist, Jerome Smith. It was Smith\'s relentless, unfiltered fury that set Kennedy on his heels, reducing him to sullen silence.Kennedy walked away from the nearly three-hour meeting angry - that the black folk assembled didn\'t understand politics, and that they weren\'t as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King. But especially that they were more interested in witness than policy. But Kennedy\'s anger quickly gave way to empathy, especially for Smith. I guess if I were in his shoes...I might feel differently about this country. Kennedy set about changing policy - the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental ways.There was more: every big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in that room. Smith declaring that he\'d never fight for his country given its racist tendencies, and Kennedy being appalled at such lack of patriotism, tracks the disdain for black dissent in our own time. His belief that black folk were ungrateful for the Kennedys\' efforts to make things better shows up in our day as the charge that black folk wallow in the politics of ingratitude and victimhood. The contributions of black queer folk to racial progress still cause a stir. BLM has been accused of harboring a covert queer agenda. The immigrant experience, like that of Kennedy - versus the racial experience of Baldwin - is a cudgel to excoriate black folk for lacking hustle and ingenuity. The questioning of whether folk who are interracially partnered can authentically communicate black interests persists. And we grapple still with the responsibility of black intellectuals and artists to bring about social change.What Truth Sounds Like exists at the tense intersection of the conflict between politics and prophecy - of whether we embrace political resolution or moral redemption to fix our fractured racial landscape. The future of race and democracy hang in the balance.
