In 1970 James Baldwin and Margaret Mead met for an
extraordinary seven-and-a-half-hour discussion about race
and society. Mead brought her knowledge of racism as
practiced in remote societies around the world. Baldwin
brought his personal experience with the legacy of black
American history. They talked with candor, passion, rage,
and brilliance, and their discussion became this unique
volume. Here is Baldwin's creativity and fire. Here is
Mead's scholarship and reason. And here, for all to see, are
their prejudices, their pain, and finally, their shared
desire to find the thread that binds us all.
"This book.
. .traces a curve beginning in formal statements, moving
through wary affection and intellectual intimacy, ending
with a raw confrontation."--Newsweek.
"Margaret Mead and James Baldwin are no ordinary people.
. .their conversation. . .takes us along to places to which
we could not otherwise go."--The Times Literary
Supplement (London)
