RKS Literature: A Furious and Bewildered Rage in America (James Baldwin)

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inliteratureTags:, , , ,

“I am not one of the people who believe that oppression imbues a people with wisdom or insight or sweet charity: though the survival of the Negro in this country would simply not have been possible if this bitterness had been all that he felt. In America life seems to move faster than anywhere else on the globe and each generation is promised more than it will get: which creates in each generation, a furious, bewildered rage, the rage of the people who cannot find solid ground beneath their feet.”

James Baldwin, “Notes of a Native Son”, 1955.
