description: In 1970 Nabile Fares interviewed African-American author James Baldwin for Jeune Afrique magazine. What begins in this book as an interview with Baldwin confronting the history of Black America leads Fares into a journey through his own past. Vivid encounters in France and Spain connect with Fares' remembrances of his native Algeria its war for independence and the effect it had on his childhood. The original interview with Baldwin is included.
