Description: The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin Uncorrected long galley proof of the first edition New York: The Dial Press, 1963. Uncorrected long galley proof copy of the first edition of James Baldwin's seminal text on race in America. In publisher's original plastic comb binding with thick brown card covers with paper title label to upper cover. Near Fine with several teeth missing from comb, toning and loss to two corners of the cover label, corners bumped and pages tanned. A scarce format of one of Baldwin's best-known non-fiction work which has gained a new critical and popular appreciation for its prescience in depicting the persistence of racial tensions and inequalities in a post-civil rights world. Comprised of two essays, the first essay, written in the form of a letter to Baldwin's 14-year-old nephew, discusses the central role of race in American history. The second essay, which takes up the majority of the book, deals with the relations between race and religion, focusing in particular on Baldwin's experiences with the Christian church as a youth, as well as the Islamic ideas of others in Harlem.
