Notes of a Native Son

Editorial Reviews
Review
'He named for me the things you feel but couldn't utter. . . . Jimmy's essays articulated for the first time to white America what it meant to be American and a black American at the same time." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "A straight-from-the-shoulder writer, writing about the troubled problems of this troubled earth with an illuminating intensity." -Langston Hughes, The New York Times Book Review

Book Description
Originally published in 1955, James Baldwin's first nonfiction book has become a classic. These searing essays on life in Harlem, the protest novel, movies, and Americans abroad remain as powerful today as when they were written.
