Now, this reissue of \u003cem\u003eHome\u003c\/em\u003e--long out of print--features a highly provocative and profoundly insightful collection of 1960s social and political essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eHome\u003c\/em\u003e is, in effect, the ideological autobiography of LeRoi Jones\/Amiri Baraka. The two dozen essays that constitute this book were written during a five-year span--a turbulent and critical period for African Americans and whites. The Cuban Revolution, the Birmingham bombings, Robert Williams's Monroe Defense movement, the Harlem riots, the assassination of Malcolm X . . . each changed the way Jones\/Baraka looked at America. This progressive change is recorded with honesty, anger, and passion in his writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1933354674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933354675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Akashic Books, Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 84","brand":"Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049116725503,"sku":"9781933354675","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f6aa2cbe-509f-4613-9ae2-167997a9173d.jpg?v=1684999726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/home-leroi-jones-amiri-baraka-9781933354675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
