A remarkable story of race and the American dream, Nicholas Buccola’s The Fire Is Upon Us: James Baldwin, William F. Buckley Jr., and the Debate Over Race in America (Princeton) reveals the deep roots and lasting legacy of a conflict that continues to haunt our politics. The Fire Is Upon Us shows how the clash between the civil rights firebrand and the father of modern conservatism persists in illuminating America’s racial divide.
