I Am Not Your Negro – James Baldwin & Raoul Peck

I Am Not Your Negro – James Baldwin & Raoul Peck

I Am Not Your Negro brings together James Baldwin’s unpublished notes—originally intended for a book about Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr.—and Raoul Peck’s powerful interpretation of Baldwin’s words. Developed alongside Peck’s Academy Award–nominated documentary, this book blends Baldwin’s reflections with selected essays, letters, speeches, and archival material to examine the painful and persistent history of race in America.

Through Baldwin’s intimate, incisive voice and Peck’s narrative structure, the work offers a searing account of identity, violence, memory, and the American struggle for justice. It is a profound meditation on the lives and assassinations of three civil rights leaders, and a timeless confrontation with the realities of racism, past and present.
