I Am Not Your Negro A Companion Edition To The Documentary Film Directed By Raoul Peck

Binding: Paperback
Description: National Bestseller In his final years one of America's greatest writers envisioned a book about his three assassinated friends Medgar Evers Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. His deeply personal notes for the project had never been published before acclaimed filmmaker Raoul Peck mined them to compose his Academy Award - nominated documentary. Thrilling . A portrait of one man's confrontation with a country that murder by murder as he once put it devastated my universe. The New York Times Peck weaves these texts together brilliantly imagining the book that Baldwin never wrote with selected published and unpublished passages essays letters notes and interviews that are every bit as incisive and pertinent now as they have ever been. Peck's film uses them to jump through time juxtaposing Baldwin's private words with his public statements in a blazing examination of the tragic history of race in America. This edition contains more than 40 black - and - white images from the film.
