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.

Penguin's collection of 3 of Baldwin's essays. Still so relevant today.
My #bookspin read for September.
@TheAromaofBooks
Did up my #bookspinbingo list for September. Looking at how the card is laid out I think I may be able to get a Bingo. 😅 😬
Starting off with the tagged book.
Read this whilst waiting for #bookspinbingo! @TheAromaofBooks
4 ⭐ Definitely want to get to the other Baldwins I own now, plus it's given me some cases to look into.
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.
Besides being Friday, today is a surprise #bookmail day!
These came from a lovely Litten, the inimitable @batsy 🤗.
Thank you so much, my friend, I love everything here and your sweet note makes my day. 😘❤️
