James Baldwin's stunning first novel is now an&nbsp;&nbsp;American classic. With startling realism that brings&nbsp;&nbsp;Harlem and the black experience vividly to life,&nbsp;&nbsp;this is a work that touches the heart with emotion&nbsp;&nbsp;while it stimulates the mind with its narrative&nbsp;&nbsp;style, symbolism, and excoriating vision of racism&nbsp;&nbsp;in America. Moving through time from the rural&nbsp;&nbsp;South to the northern ghetto, starkly contrasting the&nbsp;&nbsp;attitudes of two generations of an embattles&nbsp;&nbsp;family,<i>Go Tell It On The Mountain</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;is an unsurpassed portrayal of human beings caught&nbsp;&nbsp;up in a dramatic struggle and of a society&nbsp;&nbsp;confronting inevitable change.<br><br>&quot;The most important&nbsp;&nbsp;novel written about the American Negro,&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;says <i>Commentary</i>. &quot;It is written&nbsp;&nbsp;with poetic intensity and great narrative skill,&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;writes<i>Harper's</i>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Saturday Review</i> praises it as &quot;masterful,&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>&nbsp;&nbsp;declares that this important American novel is&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;brutal, objective and compassionate.&quot;
