free online james baldwin stories, essays, videos, and other resources

**edit

James baldwin online archive with his articles and photo archives.

---NOVELS---

Giovanni's room"When David meets the sensual Giovanni in a bohemian bar, he is swept into a passionate love affair. But his girlfriend's return to Paris destroys everything. Unable to admit to the truth, David pretends the liaison never happened - while Giovanni's life descends into tragedy. This book introduces love's fascinating possibilities and extremities."

Go Tell It On The Mountain"(...)Baldwin's first major work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves."

+bonus: film adaptation on youtube. (if you’re a giancarlo esposito fan, you’ll be delighted to see him in an early preacher role)

Another Country and Going to Meet the Man Another country: "James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit." Going to meet the Man: " collection of eight short stories by American writer James Baldwin. The book, dedicated "for Beauford Delaney", covers many topics related to anti-Black racism in American society, as well as African-American–Jewish relations, childhood, the creative process, criminal justice, drug addiction, family relationships, jazz, lynching, sexuality, and white supremacy."

Just Above My Head"Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses--and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land."

If Beale Street Could Talk"Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche."

also has a film adaptation by moonlight's barry jenkins

Tell Me How Long the Train's been gone At the height of his theatrical career, the actor Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers between life and death, Baldwin shows the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the intoxicating world of the theater lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and rage. An adored older brother vanishes into prison. There are love affairs with a white woman and a younger black man, each of whom will make irresistible claims on Leo's loyalty. 

---ESSAYS---

Baldwin essay collection. Including most famously: notes of a native son, nobody knows my name, the fire next time, no name in the street, the devil finds work- baldwin on film

--DOCUMENTARIES--

Take this hammer, a tour of san Francisco.

Meeting the man

--DEBATES:--

Debate with Malcolm x, 1963 ( on integration, the nation of islam, and other topics. )

Debate with William Buckley, 1965. ( historic debate in america. )

Heavily moderated debate with Malcolm x, Charles Eric Lincoln, and Samuel Schyle 1961. (Primarily Malcolm X's debate on behalf of the nation of islam, with Baldwin giving occassional inputs.)

----

apart from themes obvious in the book's descriptions, a general heads up for themes of incest and sexual assault throughout his works.

Help a Palestinian family of 10 after GFM deleted all their funds !!! - VETTED

@iyadsobhegaza 's fundraiser has been stagnating for a while now. They lost a total of 11k when GFM deleted their previous fundraiser with no warning. They haven't even reached 2% of their goal yet.

Iyad and his wife are both elderly and they need to evacuate with their 8 children. Iyad suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes, and often his blood pressure rises without any medication to help him. Food and clean water are also hard to come by, and they have been displaced many times over. They need this money both to evacuate and for accessing essentials like tents, food, and medicine. Iyad's health is deteriorating, they are in pain, exhausted, and need to get out ASAP.

As of 11th August 2024, no donations have been made for the past 2 days. Please donate and share:

Help A Palestinian Family Of 10 After GFM Deleted All Their Funds !!! - VETTED

His previous GFM had been verified by nabulsi and it is no. 173 on the Google doc of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers organised by nabulsi and el-shab-hussein. We are currently waiting for the link to get updated on there. You can see Iyad's announcement of the switch to PP here. You can also read my previous post for this campaign here.

Iyad has been on tumblr for a while now and has had to switch accounts 3 times. As of writing this post, his current account @iyadsobhegaza has been shadowbanned. I urge you to follow it to follow his updates.

I cannot reiterate the urgency of their evacuation enough. This fundraiser has been stagnating for a month now and time is passing that they may not get back. They have to run from raids and bombs constantly and have been displaced more times than I can count. Please donate.

Urgent Relief ... 🚨

Please listen to me and help my family 🙏💔

Im Mohammed Alhabil from Gaza , I am a father of three young children "Ahmed , Osama , Mira ", My wife and I are trying as much as possible to save what remains of our children’s childhood.

Urgent Relief ... 🚨

We lost our home, all our dreams and memories were destroyed, and everything we built over the past years was lost. We have become without shelter or a place to live or live in. 😞💔

PLEASE HELP AND STAND BY US

Urgent Relief ... 🚨

We were displaced from Gaza to Rafah at the beginning of the war, and we survived the genocide that occurred, We somewhat found some peace there as it was a safe area, but unfortunately, after Rafah was attacked, we left under bombing, destruction, and gunfire.

My children and I saw death, and we were displaced again. To Nuseirat, as it is somewhat a safe area, but there is no safety after the attack on Nuseirat a month ago. We have lived an unforgettable experience of fear, death, and genocide, and now I wish that everything would end and that I and my young children would be saved from all of this. They have no fault in what is happening, so I created the link so that they can have a better life and escape this genocide that is stalking them and eliminating their childhood 💔💔

Help Newborn Trapped in Al-Mawasi Camp Evacuate

Hi guys, as you may recall, Wafaa (@wafans-blog) recently got in contact with her brother Muhammad and sister Shaima, who thankfully are unharmed with their spouses and children. Wafaa is verified on @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi's vetted spreadsheet (family number #171).

The campaign has been stagnating for more than 12 hours now, I cannot impress upon you more that this pair of brother and sister, who have 10 children in total, need your help to evacuate their children and keep them safe.

A trauma surgeon at a Khan Younis field hospital reported late last night that the iof repeatedly and fatally targets children by "firing directly at their head and chest" especially during this new round of offenses in Khan Younis. Please don't only be mobilized by tragedy. Help now.

Muhammad hopes that his newborn son, Salem, who only a few weeks old, can evacuate with Wafaa's family who has raised their evacuation fees. Salem is a priority concern because the overwhelmed hospital in Khan Younis does not have vaccines for him, making him especially susceptible to viral infections that have been spreading among the al-Mawasi camp.

Help Newborn Trapped In Al-Mawasi Camp Evacuate
Help Newborn Trapped In Al-Mawasi Camp Evacuate

To help the family achieve this, we need to raise $2,500 USD as soon as possible!! There has only been 6 donations in the past 11 hours. Currently $672 as of July 28 morning, that's $1,828 left to raise to save Salem!!

Urgent and dangerous 13-07-2024

We miraculously survived. The occupation army had just committed a horrific massacre in the camp next to us, resulting in more than 100 martyrs and more than 289 injuries, including serious ones, to date. Medical teams are still recovering martyrs to this moment.

This child was martyred while in her mother's arms. Her mother was not photographed because the sight of the corpse was painful, consisting of pieces of flesh.

Please pay attention to campaigns that are set up with the goal of rebuilding lives in Gaza. Gaza is not gone. Gaza won't be a ghost town for the occupation to set up their settlements in. When you ignore campaigns that explicitly state that they aim to rebuild lives back in Gaza, you are giving credibility to those nasty beach resort ads, Isn'treal had the audacity to air. I don't want to romanticize because it is dehumanizing in itself but do you know how much hope, how much strength there is in setting up a campaign that is explicitly stating " This money is going to go to rebuilding my life back in Gaza. " Don't disrespect it in this way, don't disrespect these campaigns.

Donate to @siraj2024 at least go through his blog. Go through his fundraiser. Boost! This is tumblr, the stupidest shitposts go viral and we can't get Siraj out to the wide number of people on here?? Help him keep his hope. Help him in rebuilding his life in Gaza. 10k that is all he is asking for his short term goal. Please help. Help.

Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?

Im’ mohiy from Gaza 🍉🇵🇸 ..I need your help if you can

I am 23 years old. I live under the bombardment and constant aggression against Gaza. Here we struggle with a life of constant death and loss. I lost a large part of my family. We also lost our house in which we used to live. We were displaced more than 10 times from one place to another, searching for safety. In fact, there is no safe place. We had many ambitions and hopes. I graduated from university and intended to travel, work, and many other things. But the war came and destroyed all that. We also had a source of livelihood and clothing shops.🇵🇸🍉

The occupation completely destroyed and burned them all, and we no longer have any source of livelihood. We also lack access to food and drinking water. We suffered from many diseases, such as hepatitis and malnutrition due to the lack of a suitable environment for life, and I had surgery to remove the gallbladder. Here we live in hunger and fear. My mother also suffers from chronic diseases and we cannot find a cure for them. Our lives are in danger. Therefore, I hope you can help, even if just a little, as this will help us get out of death."🇵🇸🍉

The most difficult decision for us was to leave our country, to leave Gaza, to overcome the obstacles we faced and the losses we suffered, and to start a new life from scratch.💔💔

Help a Palestinian college student rebuild his home!

As you know, I and my mutuals frequently post about Siraj @/siraj2024, who is trying to rebuild his home in Gaza. We stress that rebuilding in Gaza and resisting ethnic cleansing is just as important as evacuating to safety. One of the things we are all fighting for is for Palestinians to have the right to return to their homes. With that, I have another campaign I'd like to bring to your attention.

Mahmoud Hamam (@ma7moudgaza2) is a web designer and college student. He and his family have been displaced by the IOF several times and now live in a tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis. He cannot stay there much longer.

Here's what studying is like for him now:

Help A Palestinian College Student Rebuild His Home!

Due to the recent massacres there, he has been unable to come online. He also had his previous account terminated by Tumblr, in an act of genocidal censorship. This is why we must help him.

He is only at $2,238 of $25,000, and he has been campaigning for a month as of right now. He has a long way to go but I beliveve it is possible to get him to his goal soon! We have seen people raise this amount in record time, I really do believe in all of us.

Despite all he has endured, he has not given up hope. Lets help him rebuild.

I am Mahmoud Hamam from Gaza, in the midst of destruction and bombing. I am writing to you that our morale is still high and that determination is present. After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger..

The situation Wafaa's family is in continues to worsen. At the start of this raffle, I remember seeing her fundraiser and realizing it wasn't the first time I had - I could remember Wafaa's niece, whose smile looked very much like hope. Two weeks ago, Wafaa received news that her niece and daughter had been martyred just days apart from each other. Please take a moment to read this and remember them.

Wafaa's family is still in danger, and their situation worsens by the day. Their home has now been destroyed, and they suffer from illness and malnutrition. Tumblr continues to shadowban Wafaa's blog, making it even more difficult for her to seek help for her family, and today shadowbanned Wafaa again for what is the third time in recent weeks. Wafaa's campaign has begun to stagnate, and still has a long way to go! Please, if you have a moment, consider donating. If not, please reblog and share Wafaa's story as much as you're able!

We will be raffling some journals to help Wafaa's fundraising efforts!

In order to be entered to win one of them, please donate €5 to Wafaa's campaign and send proof of donation either to @journalsforpalestine through ask, submit, or ims, or through this google form! €10 will get you two entries, €15 will get you three, and so on and so forth.

All of these journals can be shipped internationally.

Winners will be chosen on July 31st !

A gold black and red journal.
A journal with Van Gogh's painting of Irises decorating it.
A red journal with a black gold and white pattern.

I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.

Remember them during these games.

Twitter thread by Alec Karakatsanis
(@equalityAlec)
11 Jul 24

THREAD. I didn't fully know what to expect when I started digging into over a decade of records, statements, financial data, and other information about police body cameras. I suspected it to be troubling, but what I found shocked even me.

I also examined hundreds of news articles about police body cameras. The result? The public campaign to sell police body cameras as a liberal "reform" is one of the great frauds of modern domestic U.S. propaganda. It carries profound lessons for anyone who cares about democracy.

First, a fact more people should know is that police leaders and prosecutors desperately *wanted* body cameras for years. They had a problem though: cops couldn't get hundreds of millions of $$$ in funding for them. So how did police finally get them?

After the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson ten years ago generated massive public outrage over police violence, police and multi-billion dollar surveillance companies realized they had an opportunity.
They realized that while they'd been unable to get local governments to pay billions for the surveillance bonanza before, now they could partner with "reformers" to pitch body cameras as a *solution* to police violence. Liberal "reformers" were a perfect target/accomplice.

The money started flowing. President Obama called for hundreds of millions in cash from the feds to supplement local and state spending, which liberal leaders and cops championed. The market value of the main companies grew by billions, with exploding yearly sales.

Almost every news article published for the following decade omitted something crucial: police and prosecutors wanted the cameras not because it would make them "accountable" and "transparent" but for *exactly the opposite reasons.*
Police and their industry allies used the news media to focus the public on the supposed need to capture police violence on video. They said police lacked funding for tech that could provide the public with “accountability" and "transparency."

In reality, according to their own statements, they sought the greatest expansion of surveillance infrastructure in modern policing history, and dreamed of lucrative contracts to link the new video with AI facial and voice recognition software and predictive policing algorithms.

For example, they wanted an easy tool that cops could deploy at protests to scan the crowd and know who is there and who is associating with who based on facial recognition. They wanted to be able to share this intelligence about protestors in massive profitable databases.

Cops/prosecutors also wanted them because it's the most powerful new form of evidence: outward looking videos that bureaucrats could create, direct, curate, edit, and control both in terms of what's captured, what's left out, and at which political moment it's publicly released.

Body camera videos are now routinely used in almost every prosecutor office in the U.S. as evidence to get mostly poor people to quickly plead guilty to things like drug possession and trespassing. They are almost never used against police officers.
To the contrary, the videos are often given privately to cops prior to their internal statements about controversial incidents in which they used violence to create and standardize initial police narratives with the goal of reducing potential civil and criminal liability.

The benefits of body cameras to the punishment bureaucracy and big corporations unfolded exactly as police chiefs and corporate sales representatives from the companies discussed the devices over a decade ago when formulating their goals *before* Michael Brown’s killing.

Most profoundly, though, body cameras served a propaganda function. They steer public away from *systemic* questions about the role of armed government agents, why they only enforce some crimes against some people, why they are in certain neighborhoods in the first place, etc

With the explosion of cameras, police killed more and more people each year. Exactly as everyone on the inside knew, cameras didn't make police less violent. A little known fact: the federal government's own review of studies shows body cameras *do not make police less violent*!

For example, each year since George Floyd was killed --captured in a useful angle horrifically on video by a bystander not the police body camera--police have killed more people than they did the year before despite huge new sums spent on body cameras.
There are so many fascinating details in this story. You can read my full article here explaining this entire process in detail in the Yale Journal of Law & Liberation: campuspress.yale.edu/yjll/files/202…

UPDATE: I've been tracking hundreds of coordinated far-right replies and quote-tweets. It's interesting for a few reasons.  First, many of them assert ludicrous falsities about basic facts. Second, many fundamentally misunderstand the arguments.  But most important:

The scope and silliness of the right-wing replies all helps make one of the core points: liberals who supported body cameras as "reform" should pay attention to who is defending this lucrative, authoritarian tech and the hateful nonsense they are spewing.

I'm Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a time of unimaginable hardship. I am 26 years old, married to Ashraf Ismail, who is 32, and together we have three beautiful children: Hussein, 6, Rajaa, 5, and Youssef, just 10 months old. Our lives have been turned upside down by the devastating war in Gaza, and we desperately need your help.

My daughter Rajaa is a radiant beam of sunshine, bringing boundless joy, warmth, and love to everyone she meets.

I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,
I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,

On a dark night at the beginning of the war, our area was subjected to massive bombing. The explosions reached our home, forcing us to flee into the night, running amidst periodic explosions and searching for survival. We made our way to southern Gaza by morning, seeking refuge in Rafah.

This is our home, filled with our memories and moments of joy and happiness, now reduced to rubble. Its destruction shattered our hearts.

I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,

In Rafah, we found shelter in a crowded warehouse filled with strangers, all of us struggling to find basic necessities like food, water, safety, and cleanliness. Despite these challenges, we were again hit by direct bombardment. My husband was injured in the shoulder, and the scene around us was filled with blood and corpses. The cries of my children in those moments still echo in my head.

A fragment of what it once was, and now, what it has become.

I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,

We moved several times to places described as safe, only to face new tragedies. During this period, my precious daughter Raja contracted hepatitis, adding to our suffering.

It was incredibly difficult for me to endure these disasters, especially as I was in the process of giving birth. Youssef was deprived of proper breastfeeding and the necessary nutrition for his age. Hussein's right to education and a safe childhood have been cruelly taken from him.

My baby Youssef, whom I clung to throughout the war, running with him through the rubble of shattered homes to escape.

I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,

At an age when Hussein should have been enjoying his childhood, all his rights were taken away from him.

I'm Nour Alanqar, And Reaching Out To You During A Time Of Unimaginable Hardship. I Am 26 Years Old,

Our situation is dire, and we need your support to rebuild our lives and provide a future for our children. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference. Your contributions will help us secure safe shelter, access to medical care, and the basic necessities of life.

Please, consider helping us during this critical time. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and a chance to rebuild our lives.
