‘Failure on the Left (Book Review)’, Arnold Beichman

Baldwin referenced in a piece on the radical Left.

“Whatever literary radicalism persists in America arises from such negro writers as James Baldwin and Leroi Jones, for whom there is one enemy, ‘Whitey.’ Such as approach produced little (except corpses) when the enemy was the ‘Jew’ or the ‘Catholic’ or the ‘Alibgensian,’ and it will produce even less as the black ‘Jacksonians’ fire away at Mister Charley.”
