Description
The stories in this collection were written at different times in Baldwin's life, but a common theme links them all: the difficulty of a black man living in contemporary America. Difficulty that takes various forms: a young black woman expects her white lover to leave her; a black singer, married to a Swedish woman, prepares to return to the United States and dreads this return; a white police officer recalls in detail the mutilation and lynching of a black man in a southern town... Facing the White Man is an indictment of American democracy. James Baldwin goes straight to the point with a lucidity and a harshness that are sometimes painful.
