James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name, UC Berkeley Ex-Lib

First edition of Nobody Knows My Name by James Baldwin

Published in 1961, this copy would have been found in the UC-Berkeley Library at the heart of the West Coast Black Power movement during its heyday. UC-Berkeley was a key site for student protests in support of the Black Power movement, beginning with the Sheraton Palace Protests in 1964, where Berkeley students joined the Oakland Black Panthers in protesting the Sheraton hotel's racist hiring practices. Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name was an incredibly popular work detailing Baldwin's experiences in America and exile of the last few decades. This copy has a radical aura embedded within it from its life in the stacks of the UC-Berkeley library and the minds who read it.

Copy is in good condition, with notes, underlining and marginalia throughout
