The Fire Next Time is a 1963 non-fiction book by James Baldwin, containing two essays: My Dungeon Shook: Letter to my Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Emancipation and Down at the Cross: Letter from a Region of My Mind. The first essay discusses the central role of race in American history; the second deals with the relations between race and religion, focusing on Baldwin's experiences with the Christian church as a youth and the Nation of Islam's ideals and influence in Harlem. The two essays were first published separately in American magazines in late 1962, then combined and published in book form in 1963 by The Dial Press.
