He is eloquent, he is bold. He demands rights—not conditional favors.” —New York Times Book Review In 2007, Akashic Books ushered Amiri Baraka back into the forefront of America’s literary consciousness with the short story collection Tales of the Out \u0026amp; the Gone. Now, this reissue of Home—long out of print—features a highly provocative and profoundly insightful collection of 1960s social and political essays. Home is, in effect, the ideological autobiography of LeRoi Jones\/Amiri Baraka. The two dozen essays that constitute this book were written during a five-year span—a turbulent and critical period for African Americans and whites. The Cuban Revolution, the Birmingham bombings, Robert Williams’s Monroe Defense movement, the Harlem riots, the assassination of Malcolm X . . . each changed the way Jones\/Baraka looked at America. This progressive change is recorded with honesty, anger, and passion in his writings.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1933354674\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1933354674.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jones, LeRoi\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
