Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "A powerful study of how to bear witness in a moment when America is being called to do the same."-- Time James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the failure of the civil rights movement to force America to confront its lies about race. What can we learn from his struggle in our own moment? One of the Best Books of the Year: Time, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune - One of Esquire 's Best Biographies of All Time - Winner of the Stowe Prize - Shortlisted for the Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice "Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again."--James Baldwin Begin Again is one of the great books on James Baldwin and a powerful reckoning with America's ongoing failure to confront the lies it tells itself about race. Just as in Baldwin's "after times," argues Eddie S. Glaude Jr., when white Americans met the civil rights movement's call for truth and justice with blind rage and the murders of movement leaders, so in our moment were the Obama presidency and the birth of Black Lives Matter answered with the ascendance of Trump and the violent resurgence of white nationalism. In these brilliant and stirring pages, Glaude finds hope and guidance in Baldwin as he mixes biography--drawn partially from newly uncovered Baldwin interviews--with history, memoir, and poignant analysis of our current moment to reveal the painful cycle of Black resistance and white retrenchment. As Glaude bears witness to the difficult truth of racism's continued grip on the national soul, Begin Again is a searing exploration of the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America.

"In this powerful and elegant book on James Baldwin, Eddie Glaude weaves together a biography, a meditation, a literary analysis, and a moral essay on America. Like Baldwin's own essays and books, it is at times both loving and angry, challenging and uplifting, and always beautiful. Both Baldwin and this book speak directly to today." --Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci " Begin Again is an unparalleled masterpiece of social criticism. Glaude thinks alongside America's finest essayist, matching the master's firepower, brilliance, courage, and sensitivity at every turn. He pushes, prods and disrobes history, forcing us to face uncomfortable truths and insisting upon our better inheritances. Glaude's stunningly crafted prose--incisive, vulnerable, and beautiful--is as breathtaking as his brilliance. This book is precisely the witness we need for our treacherous times." --Imani Perry, author of Breathe and Looking for Lorraine "In this searing, provocative, and ultimately hopeful book, Eddie Glaude, Jr., takes us on a fascinating journey through the mind and heart of James Baldwin. But a parallel odyssey through Glaude's own formidable mind and generous heart unfolds as well--an odyssey that tells us much about the way we live now and how we might come to live if we could, to borrow a phrase of Lincoln's, think anew and act anew. One need not agree with everything in these pages to learn much from them, and for Americans seeking to understand our past, our present, and the possible futures before us, Begin Again challenges, illuminates, and points us toward, if not a more perfect union, at least a more just one." --Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America and Destiny and Power "In the marrow of Eddie Glaude's Begin Again is a rugged literary miracle. In evocative prose, Glaude showed me how we might use the unexceptional yet brutal nightmare of Trumpism to not simply better understand the work and life of James Baldwin, but how that discovery must also lead us as people, not simply as a nation, to 'begin again' and walk collectively toward actual liberation." --Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy "In the midst of an ugly Trump regime and a beautiful Baldwin revival, Eddie Glaude has plunged to the profound depths and sublime heights of Baldwin's prophetic challenge to our present-day crisis. This book is, undoubtedly, the best treatment we have of Baldwin's genius and relevance. Glaude's masterpiece puts a smile on Baldwin's face from the grave even as Baldwin weeps for us in this grim moment! With subtle brilliance and heartfelt tears, Glaude breaks bread with Baldwin in order to give us courage and hope!" --Cornel West, author of Democracy Matters and Race Matters, "A penetrating study of how the words of James Baldwin continue to have (often painful) relevance today. Baldwin's genius glimmers throughout as Glaude effectively demonstrates how truth does not die with the one who spoke it." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Even if you don't agree with Glaude's interpretations, you'll find yourself productively arguing with them. He parses, he pronounces, he cajoles. He spurs you to revisit Baldwin's work yourself."-- The New York Times "Not only is Baldwin brought rushing forth from the page, with all the beauty of his prose and complexity of his thought, but Glaude's voice joins him with a force and clarity of its own...., Baldwin and Glaude offer us a path forward that is both exceedingly difficult and genuinely hopeful."-- The Post and Courier " Begin Again is a groundbreaking and informative guide to Baldwin and his era."-- Washington Post " Begin Again is...filled with the type of passion, lyricism, and fire that James Baldwin commands and deserves.... This phenomenal work [is]a timeless and spellbinding conversation between two brilliant writers." --Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I'm Dying and Everything Inside "One need not agree with everything in these pages to learn much from them, and for Americans seeking to understand our past, our present, and the possible futures before us, Begin Again challenges, illuminates, and points us toward, if not a more perfect union, at least a more just one." --­Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America and Destiny and Power "Glaude's work is urgent, pained, and strangely hopeful. He is issuing a call to reckoning: not just with the dishonesty of America's founding promises, but with the tolls that its intrinsic racism has taken on the artists and thinkers who have come before." --Rebecca Traister, author of All the Single Ladies and Good and Mad "The magic of Begin Again is that it allows us to ponder Baldwin both in his perilous era and in our own. Remarkable, and remarkably relevant." --Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Life on Mars " Begin Again is an unparalleled masterpiece of social criticism. Glaude thinks alongside America's finest essayist, matching the master's firepower, brilliance, courage, and sensitivity at every turn....This book is precisely the witness we need for our treacherous times." --Imani Perry, author of Breathe and Looking for Lorraine "In this powerful and elegant book, Glaude weaves together a biography, a meditation, a literary analysis, and a moral essay on America....It is at times both loving and angry, challenging and uplifting, and always beautiful.

You're left with an understanding of the extraordinary modernity, relevance, and the immense power of James Baldwin. It's a simply wonderful book." --Philippe Sands, author of East West Street "The magic of Begin Again is that it allows us to ponder Baldwin both in his perilous era and in our own. Remarkable, and remarkably relevant." --Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Life on Mars " Begin Again is an unparalleled masterpiece of social criticism.

Arrived safe and fast well package, well you know in my last feedback I was discussing where Thrift books sticks their sticky bar code labels? When this book was brilliant as it was in a nice clear book bag and the sticky label which gives me nightmares trying to peel it off without damaging the book was stuck to the outside of this bag, still in the place Thrift books needs it to be seen on the spine, but on the outside of this bag so no damage to this book super well done.
