With this act of violence, James Baldwin launches an unsparing and at times agonizing probe of the wounds of race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor where once a white storekeeper could have shot a \"boy\" like Richard Henry with impunity, times have changed. And centuries of brutality and fear, patronage and contempt, are about to erupt in a moment of truth as devastating as a shotgun blast.\r","brand":"James Baldwin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449066746092,"sku":"9780679761785","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780679761785.jpg?v=1709488479","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/blues-for-mister-charlie-a-play","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
