The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race edited by Jesmyn Ward uses James Baldwin’s 1963 examination of race in America, The Fire Next Time, to engage “eighteen of today’s most original thinkers.” Rich Blint will moderate this conversation with two of the book’s contributing writers, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah, “The Weight,” and Kiese Laymon, “Da Art of Storytellin’ (a prequel).” Blint is the 2016-2017 Scholar-in-Residence at Pratt Institute. He is also the co-editor (with Douglas Field) of a special issue of African American Review on James Baldwin and contributing editor of The James Baldwin Review. Blint was also featured in our podcast series, “Schomburg Mixtape,” discussing the importance of Baldwin’s work.
