Baldwin's piercing observations in Nothing Personal resonate deeply with the current state of our nation. Reflecting on the Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world in 2020, as well as the shocking events at the US Capitol, Baldwin's insights cut straight to the core of our present reality. His exploration of topics like America's obsession with eternal youth, its refusal to confront its history, and its addiction to consumerism forces us to confront the lovelessness that permeates our cities and popular culture.
In Nothing Personal, Baldwin recounts his own personal encounter with the police, mirroring the disturbing scenes we witness today. With increasing urgency, Baldwin's words shine a light on the pressing need for change. This stand-alone edition also features a thought-provoking foreword from interdisciplinary scholar Imani Perry and an enlightening afterword from renowned Baldwin scholar Eddie S. Glaude Jr. These contextual additions further deepen our understanding of Baldwin's work within the broader context of our times, including the Movement for Black Lives, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the tumultuous presidency of Donald Trump.
