"The Fire Next Time" is a book so relevant to today's America that it should be required reading for everyone. Mr. Baldwin reminds us of the harsh reality on which this country was built and warns us where it's headed if we continue to make race a political and power-driven agenda. The direction we are heading is clear. If we don't take action, we will all pay for the ugliness imposed by American history. It makes you wonder if the fire has already begun and is developing into a firestorm that we can't recover from.
If you like "The Fire Next Time," you will love the short story "I Think I'll Sit a Spell" in this little book of short stories in which Granny Rachel tries to teach a seven-year-old the horrid history of America.
