Critical texts by black authors on issues related to racism, capitalism, patriarchy - James Baldwin
Tbilisi. Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC) publishes a speech of James Baldwin made in 1965 at the University of Cambridge, translated by Mariam Shalvashvili.
“It comes as a great shock to discover that the country which is your birthplace and to which you owe your life and your identity, has not, in its whole system of reality, evolved any place for you. The disaffection, the demoralization, and the gap between one person and another only on the basis of the color of their skin, begins there and accelerates – accelerates throughout a whole lifetime – to the present when you realize you’re thirty and are having a terrible time managing to trust your countrymen.”
