Dark Days
Dark Days | James Baldwin
10 posts | 9 read | 8 to read
I read about it in the paper, in the subway, on my way to work. I read it, and I couldn't believe it, and I read it again' A story exploring racism and artistic expression, set in the jazz clubs of Greenwich Village.

Cinfhen Are you and I the only ones who have posted anything??? It‘s hard to believe that the wildfires of Maui sparked more support . I don‘t know about you but a piece of my heart will never recover 7mo
TheBookHippie @Cinfhen I will never recover and I‘m not surprised….. I‘ve not seen a thing. … 7mo
Cinfhen So we stand together and educate!! 7mo
Cinfhen I find this community as a whole has been so supportive in their comments and offers of love and support 7mo
Cinfhen But it‘s just not on their radar the same way it is for you and me. 7mo
TheBookHippie @Cinfhen I‘ve been just speechless -but yes mostly love on here, thank goodness. I cannot get all those children‘s faces out of my mind and all those Bubbes… entire families killed including babies. ..nothing new under the sun.. EVIL. 7mo
Cinfhen As more and more stores begin to emerge the HORROR of the atrocities are coming to light. And the images are haunting. It‘s actually traumatizing 7mo
TheBookHippie @Cinfhen I agree. It‘s so much: my training to never look away -I can‘t stop bearing witness. So much HORROR. Such helplessness . 7mo

Dark Days essays – ‘Dark Days‘ (1980), ‘The Price of the Ticket‘ (1985), and ‘The White Man‘s Guilt‘ (1965). At 51 pages, this is a quick read discussing race, the economy, migration, family, community, war, identity, politics, education, sexuality, and poverty.

4 ⭐ Definitely want to get to the other Baldwins I own now, plus it's given me some cases to look into.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4y

Dark Days indeed in three short pieces on race, prejudice and education. These are personal pieces by Baldwin who considers his own experience alongside well considered parallels drawn from other sources. These pieces were written in the 1960s and 1980s yet are still as relevant today as ever, sadly.
