James Baldwin's stunning first novel is now an American
classic. With startling realism that brings Harlem and the
black experience vividly to life, this is a work that
touches the heart with emotion while it stimulates the mind
with its narrative style, symbolism, and excoriating vision
of racism in America. Moving through time from the
rural South to the northern ghetto, starkly contrasting
the attitudes of two generations of an embattles family,
Go Tell It On The Mountain is an unsurpassed
portrayal of human beings caught up in a dramatic struggle
and of a society confronting inevitable change.
