Authors : Mehiri Abdelhamid . Cheikh Abderrahim .

Abstract

Racism in America has always been present since the inception of the colonial era. This is manifested in laws and practices, which segregate other groups based on their ethnicity. The concept of racism in America is majorly perpetrated in education, land acquisition, and legal matters. The minority groups such as African Americans have experienced determent in their social, and economic freedoms, which have seen them victimized in different arenas. The present article analyses and studies the changing motives of anti-racism that shaped James Baldwin's personality in his novel The Fire Next Time. James Baldwin is a great author. Though he was born in the ghetto of Harlem city during the preoccupation, he managed to struggle against the racial white supremacy in his black community.
