Well, what is? What is necessary?\"\" Baldwin responded, \"\"Commitment. That is what is necessary. You mean it or you don't.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking up that challenge and drawing from Baldwin's fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and interviews, \u003ci\u003eYou Mean It or You Don't\u003c\/i\u003e will spur today's progressives from conviction to action. It is not enough, authors Hollowell and McGhee urge us, to hold progressive views on racial justice, LGBTQ+ identity, and economic inequality. True and lasting change demands a response to Baldwin's radical challenge for moral commitment. Called to move from dreams of justice to living it out in communities, churches, and neighborhoods, we can show that we truly mean it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWelcome to life with James Baldwin. It is raw and challenging, inspired and embodied, passionate and fully awake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Broadleaf Books","offers":[{"title":"You Mean It or You Don't: James Baldwin's Radical Challenge | Jamie McGhee | Hardcover | 9781506478944 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks A 1776021","offer_id":49725537583256,"sku":"1776021","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71mwBaAyvLS.jpg?v=1787331801","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/you-mean-it-or-you-dont-james-baldwins-radical-challenge","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
