Review: Interesting moments from a time beyond me - Was a nice read, not too heavy and can be done within a day or two depending on your needs. Nice to have some an insight into how he saw the world and his personal growth at times. Definitely described parts of me.
Review: Three compelling essays on race, politics and America - This book is a great little book by James Baldwin on race in America. His blunt, direct and unapologetic. His not trying to placate anybody when he talks about controversial issues. It is a short but great introduction to the writer and poet James Baldwin.

This book is a great little book by James Baldwin on race in America. His blunt, direct and unapologetic. His not trying to placate anybody when he talks about controversial issues. It is a short but great introduction to the writer and poet James Baldwin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, Enlightening, Important
*by L***R on 21 June 2020*

‘Dark Days’ is a little book made up of three different essays. These were all written around 1980 but they are strikingly similar to the events we are experiencing today. These essays are just another example of how systemic racism is still a huge problem, even though a lot of people like to bring up ‘how far we’ve come since then’. In reality, we’ve really only taken two steps forward and one step back. If that. This was my first time reading Baldwin’s work and I loved it. He has a writing style and voice which just hits you to your core and it’s really powerful.
