The Fire Next Time; Nobody Knows My Name ; No Name In The Street; The Devil Finds Work
A major hardcover compendium of nonfiction by one of America's most brilliant essayists, timed to the celebration of his centenary
Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual - James Baldwin is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
This Everyman's Library collection includes his bestselling, galvanizing essay The Fire Next Time - which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s and still lights the way to understanding race in America today - along with three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and analyst of culture.
From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies to the \"passionate, probing, controversial\" (The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My Name and the incisive criticism of American movies in The Devil Finds Work, Baldwin's stunning prose over and over proves relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality, justice, and social change.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
