‘Jimmy Come Home’, WJ Weatherby

Weatherby reviews No Name in the Street. Critical of JB but broadly supportive of his writing and places him at the centre of the Black Power movement:

‘The biggest most lasting success of the Movement has been to transform these fears into a deep feeling of self-confidence in the generation after Baldwin’s, a deep feeling that, whatever the brainwashing to the contrary, black is beautiful. NP: Baldwin and this new generation eye each other a little suspiciously, even though they are standing on his shoulders’.
