'It comes as a great shock to discover that the country which is your birthplace and to which you owe your life and your identity, has not, in its whole system of reality, evolved any place for you'. James Baldwin was one of America's most powerful analysts of the psychology of white supremacy. In this speech, delivered in 1965 at the Cambridge Union Society, he offers a devastating, but also strikingly empathetic, account of the role played by racism in American society.
James Baldwin (1924-87) was a writer and civil rights activist. Among his best-known works are the novel Giovanni's Room, the essay collection Notes of a Native Son, and the polemic The Fire Next Time.
