The struggles of Black Lives Matter and the attempt to achieve a new America have been challenged by the presidency of Donald Trump, a president whose time in the White House represents the latest failure of America to face the lies it tells itself about race. For James Baldwin, a similar attempt to force a confrontation with the truth of America's racism came in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement, and was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. In the years from the publication of The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in the Street in 1972, Baldwin - the great creative artist, often referred to as 'the poet of the revolution' - became a more overtly political writer, a change that came at great professional and personal cost. But from that journey, Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about the necessity of pushing forward in the face of disillusionment and despair. Today, America is at a crossroads. Drawing insight and inspiration from Baldwin's writings, Glaude suggests we can find hope and guidance through our own era of shattered promises and white retrenchment. Seamlessly combining biography with history, memoir and trenchant analysis of our moment, Begin Again bears witness to the difficult truth of race in America. It is at once a searing exploration that lays bare the tangled web of race, trauma and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a more just future.

"James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the failure of the Civil Rights movement to force America to confront its lies about race. In the era of Trump, what can we learn from his struggle? "Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again." --James Baldwin We live, according to Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., in the after times, when the promise of Black Lives Matter and the attempt to achieve a new America were challenged by the election of Donald Trump, a racist president whose victory represents yet another failure of America to face the lies it tells itself about race. We have been here before: For James Baldwin, the after times came in the wake of the Civil Rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a national confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In these years, spanning from the publication of The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in the Street in 1972, Baldwin was transformed into a more overtly political writer, a change that came at great professional and personal cost. But from that journey, Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about the necessity of pushing forward in the face of disillusionment and despair. In the story of Baldwin's crucible, Glaude suggests, we can find hope and guidance through our own after times, this Trumpian era of shattered promises and white retrenchment. Mixing biography--drawn partially from newly uncovered interviews--with history, memoir, and trenchant analysis of our current moment, Begin Again is Glaude's attempt, following Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in America today. It is at once a searing exploration that lays bare the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to call forth a new America"--

La mise au pouvoir d'un homme raciste à la tête des Etats-Unis a révélé une réalité américaine, ancienne, qui traverse l'oeuvre de James Baldwin : l'idéal américain, une société multiculturelle où les individus sont tous égaux, a été, sans cesse, détourné pour toujours favoriser le profit et donc créer une société dominés | dominants Le mouvement des droits civiques avec la promesse de ses lendemains heureux a laissé place à l'élection de Ronald Reagan et à son conservatisme.Cette réalité n'a pourtant jamais ébranlé la certitude de James Baldwin que chacun porte en soi, le désir de vivre en paix, de vivre avec l'autre. C'est cette confiance de Baldwin dans l'être humain, malgré sa grande colère, qu'Eddie Glaude S. Junior a eu besoin de comprendre pour affronter l'Amérique de Trump et imaginer, grâce aux savoirs laissés par Baldwin, une façon de faire vivre l'idéal américain.Une nouvelle occasion se présente aujourd'hui pour retourner aux fondamentaux qui ont présidé au projet américain. Mais pour se faire, il est nécessaire, comme n'a cessé de le dire et de l'écrire James Baldwin, de reconnaître les faits, de les nommer, de nommer le racisme, l'injustice, l'inégalité, et d'endosser les responsabilités qui en découlent. "Ici recommence l'Amérique, conseils de James Baldwin - à suivre d'urgence" mêle éléments de la vie de James Baldwin, dont beaucoup proviennent d'interviews inédites, événements historiques et le questionnement d'Eddie S.Glaude Jr sur comment vivre dans une société raciste et la changer.
