书籍简介

“坦诚、深刻、感人……这是一本回忆录，记录并评论了美国失败的民权运动”——《纽约时报》

在这本极具个人色彩的书中，鲍德温回顾了他作为作家和活动家的经历：从他在哈莱姆的童年到马丁·路德·金和马尔科姆·艾克斯的去世。《街头无名氏》探索了美国南部生活的现实以及鲍德温对伦敦、巴黎和汉堡的印象，以无畏、坦率的散文形式探讨了全球解放运动未能实现的承诺。

鲍德温的叙述永恒、温柔而深刻，包含了在美国乃至全世界成为黑人的多重意义。

'Candid, insightful, moving . . . a memoir, a chronicle of and commentary on America's abortive civil-rights movement' -The New York Times

In this deeply personal book, Baldwin reflects on the experiences that shaped him as a writer and activist: from his young life in Harlem to the deaths Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Exploring the visceral reality of life in the American South as well as Baldwin’s impressions of London, Paris and Hamburg, No Name in the Street grapples with the failed promises of global liberation movements in fearless, candid prose.

Timeless, tender and profound, Baldwin’s searing narrative contains the multiplicities of what it means to be Black in America and, indeed, around the world.
