I hear a lot of hate crimes being directed at gays. I find THAT horrendous. I despise paedophiles as much as the next person. What is said about white people on here, I probably agree with.

Troy, another book for the Baldwin page.

This little baby arrived today. Been meaning to buy it for ages now. Getting a bit of a stockpile of books now. Hard to resist a good one when you see one. I sometimes feel I'm rushing through a book to get to the next .

I think i can smell homophobia here and I've got to be honest, I don't like it. By the way, I'm straight.

I should've known. Thanks Kareem.

It's ok. I've found it.

Call me naive but why'd do you refer to Trump as 45 ?

Picked this up fairly recently though haven't read it yet. Troy, I've looked for Amiri Baraka in your authors section but can't trace him. Have you a link for his page?

Almost finished Stokely, a Life and am about to start Harold Cruse' Crisis of the Negro Intellectual.

Just had a look at Operation-Nation. Great stuff. Interesting.

Now ,that is very interesting,Troy.

Just the trailer,I'm afraid. The full film WAS on You Tube but has since been removed. I picked up a copy on DVD for just £5 so it's cheap enough .

I myself have looked high and low for the doc but can't seem to find it anywhere. Actually, I've just had a thought. It might be available on DVD. I'll check shortly. Im sure others will find the vid you posted of great interest. I certainly did. The book of the same name is very high on my wants list. As is the price of the book itself.

Thanks for this Troy. I have seen it though. I've contacted the Project in the hope that any future showings in the UK will be emailed to me.

I last looked at this site a few months ago. Until today,that is. But what pissed me off was that the doc had a screening in London a month ago. No prizes for guessing who missed it. I've yet to see it. https://www.jamesbaldwinproject.org/

And here are the authors of A Lie of Reinvention.

Well, I'm definetly opting for the Ball and Burroughs book. Thanks.

Today I almost ordered Malcolm X,a life of reinvention. Thankfully, I didn't. But that was only after seeing a review on this site of another book, A lie of reinvention. Is there anyone here read either of these books and what are your thoughts? Is the latter book merely correcting the first one ?

My wonderful daughter just ordered me this book. Been meaning to get it for some time now. Originally from 1967.

Love to go but I'm on the other side of the pond. Damn.

Pioneer1 Hmmm,you may have a point there. But as I said,as with the group Stand Up to Racism, when they appear on the street, the crowd is extremely diverse. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the main focus is Islamphobia. Many Muslims do turn out for this,particularly when opposing far right groups. Thankfully violence doesn't occur that often and the two sides are often kept apart .

Ive quite a few books on Hendrix but as yet not this one but I'd like to share this for any fans of Jimi.

It's similar to a degree over here. UAF I think are virtually all caucasian with hardly anyone from the British Caribbean community or Asian (as in Muslims or Hindus). But they do a good job standing up to the far right as well as others like Stand up to Racism and Hope not Hate. These organisations are ALWAYS present when the far right demo. The latter do seem to have a good mix of people.

After the trouble in Portland ,Trump now see some it to label Antifa as terrorists. Is he kidding? As far as I can tell,all they did was confront the far right. Says a lot about him,doesn't it ?

Where and when ?
