James Baldwin didn’t believe in reform; he believed in revolution. “Anything less than a total social reckoning—a complete psychological makeover of white America—was worthless,” Louis Menand writes.

The Lives and Loves of James Baldwin
An older generation dismissed him as passé; a newer one has recast him as a secular saint. But Baldwin’s true message remains more unsettling than either camp recognizes.
