Avec La prochaine fois, le feu (The Fire Next Time), publié en 1963, James Baldwin porta sa plume en plein cœur du «problème noir» de l’Amérique. Aussi remarquable par sa prose admirable que par la franchise avec laquelle il raconte ce que signifie être noir aux États-Unis, ce livre est considéré comme l’une des plus passionnées et puissantes explorations des relations interraciales dans les années 1960, où amour, foi et famille s’entrelacent dans un assaut conjoint contre l’hypocrisie de «la terre des hommes libres».
Aujourd’hui, la prose riche, crue et toujours pertinente de James Baldwin est rééditée accompagnée de plus de 100 photos de Steve Schapiro, qui a sillonné le Sud américain avec Baldwin pour le magazine Life. Cette rencontre a plongé Schapiro au cœur du mouvement, et lui a permis de prendre des clichés décisifs, souvent emblématiques, de ses leaders ― dont Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Fred Shuttlesworth et Jerome Smith ― et d’événements marquants comme la marche sur Washington et la marche de Selma.
L’ouvrage est complété par les anecdotes précieuses de Schapiro, des légendes rédigées par Marcia Davis du Washington Post, et un texte de Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, qui était avec son frère James en Sierra Leone quand il a commencé à écrire le livre. L’ensemble constitue un remarquable témoignage visuel et littéraire sur l’une des luttes les plus importantes et acharnée de l’histoire américaine.

James Baldwin (1924-1987) fue novelista, ensayista, dramaturgo, poeta y crítico social, así como una de las figuras literarias más sobresalientes y provocadoras de la era de posguerra. Sus ensayos, como Notes of a Native Son (1955) y The Fire Next Time (1963), y novelas, como La habitación de Giovanni (1956) y Another Country (1962), exploran la complejidad evidente aunque silenciada de temas como la raza, el sexo y la desigualdad de clases en los Estados Unidos de mediados del siglo XX. Nacido en Harlem (Nueva York) pasó gran parte de su vida viviendo al sur de Francia.
La carrera de Steve Schapiro como fotoperiodista independiente comenzó con una historia sobre los trabajadores migrantes de Arkansas que apareció en la portada de The New York Times Magazine en 1961. Desde entonces, sus imágenes han aparecido en Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair y muchas otras publicaciones. En la década de 1970, comenzó una segunda y exitosa carrera como fotógrafo publicitario y de carteles de cine que lo llevó a participar en títulos clásicos como Taxi Driver, Tal como éramos y El Padrino. Su trabajo para este último se puede ver en The Godfather Family Album (TASCHEN, 2008). En 2016 colaboró con Lawrence Schiller en un libro dedicado a Barbra Streisand (TASCHEN) y en 2017 sus fotografías sobre los derechos civiles se unieron al texto de James Baldwin en The Fire Next Time (TASCHEN). Murió en 2022.

Hardback. Etat : New. First published in 1963, James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called "Negro problem." As remarkable for its masterful prose as for its frank and personal account of the black experience in the United States, it is considered one of the most passionate and influential explorations of 1960s race relations, weaving thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the "land of the free." Now, James Baldwin's rich, raw, and ever relevant prose is reprinted with more than 100 photographs from Steve Schapiro, who traveled the American South with Baldwin for Life magazine. The encounter thrust Schapiro into the thick of the movement, allowing for vital, often iconic, images both of civil rights leaders-including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Jerome Smith-and such landmark events as the March on Washington and the Selma march. Rounding out the edition are Schapiro's stories from the field, captions by journalist Marcia Davis, and an essay by Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, who was with her brother James in Sierra Leone when he started to work on the story. The result is a remarkable visual and textual record of one of the most important and enduring struggles of the American experience.First published as a TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available in a pocket-sized Centennial Edition.
