Description
The powerful memoir of the most celebrated and blacklisted Black American of the 20th century--offering a defiant challenge to the prevailing fear and racism that continues to characterize American society

A limited Beacon Classics edition, with a gorgeous spot gloss cover and retro, classic palette

Paul Robeson recounts his journey from star athlete to esteemed actor, singer, and civil rights activist, and the racism and political persecution he faced that attempted to silence him. In the first half of the 20th century, Robeson's international achievements in starring roles on stage and screen made him the most celebrated Black American of his day. But his outspoken criticism of racism in the United States, his strong support of African independence, and his fascination with the Soviet Union placed him under the debilitating scrutiny of McCarthyism.

A bold answer to his accusers, Here I Stand details how these challenges Robeson faced only strengthened his resolve to fight against injustice. In our own time of increased scrutiny and attempts to limit people's right to protest, Robeson's unwavering courage and commitment to his principles offers an inspiring model for how we all must continue to stand up for what we believe in.

Here I Stand is not simply a memoir, but a testament to the enduring spirit of resilience and resistance in the face of adversity.
