520    "James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the failure of the 
       Civil Rights movement to force America to confront its 
       lies about race. In the era of Trump, what can we learn 
       from his struggle? "Not everything is lost. Responsibility
       cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses 
       abdication, one begins again." --James Baldwin We live, 
       according to Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., in the after times, 
       when the promise of Black Lives Matter and the attempt to 
       achieve a new America were challenged by the election of 
       Donald Trump, a racist president whose victory represents 
       yet another failure of America to face the lies it tells 
       itself about race. We have been here before: For James 
       Baldwin, the after times came in the wake of the Civil 
       Rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a 
       national confrontation with the truth was answered with 
       the murders of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther 
       King, Jr. In these years, spanning from the publication of
       The Fire Next Time in 1963 to that of No Name in the 
       Street in 1972, Baldwin was transformed into a more 
       overtly political writer, a change that came at great 
       professional and personal cost. But from that journey, 
       Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about the 
       necessity of pushing forward in the face of 
       disillusionment and despair. In the story of Baldwin's 
       crucible, Glaude suggests, we can find hope and guidance 
       through our own after times, this Trumpian era of 
       shattered promises and white retrenchment. Mixing 
       biography--drawn partially from newly uncovered interviews
       --with history, memoir, and trenchant analysis of our 
       current moment, Begin Again is Glaude's attempt, following
       Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in
       America today. It is at once a searing exploration that 
       lays bare the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and
       a powerful interrogation of what we all must ask of 
       ourselves in order to call forth a new America"--
