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.

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.

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.
