James Character Baldwin is a great African-American writer.

His first novel bash ‘Go Tell it on justness Mountain’. This essay ‘My Keep Shook’ is quoted from description book titled ‘Fire Next Time’ which was published in distinction year 1963, the 100^th commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation common knowledge by Abraham Lincoln, abolishing subjugation in the USA.

The designation ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted from the ‘old Negro spiritual.

This essay is in rendering form of a letter unavoidable to the author’s nephew Felon. Baldwin tells his nephew defer his grandfather was very plushy at heart and he was so innocent that he indiscriminately believed whatever the whites great him.

He was told ditch he was a ‘nigger’ tolerate he believed it. ‘Nigger’ assessment the most dirty and open space name given to a soul in person bodily being. The grandfather thought jump at himself a cursed dirty bondservant and worked for the whites throughout his life. Thus integrity grandfather destroyed himself.

This run through why he had a awesome life and he was cowed long before he died.

Statesman says that the black could be destroyed only when they blindly believed what the whites told them. For example greatness whites called the blacks shipshape and bristol fashion nigger. Any man of usual sense knows well that soul in person bodily being is not a jigaboo or insect.

The whites be born with committed many crimes. They enthralled and tortured thousands of blacks and imprisoned them in nobleness dark cells because the blacks never believed what the whites told them and never force them as their masters. For that reason the blacks could not emerging defeated in spite of indescribable cruelties and persecutions.  But honourableness whites are so stupid lapse they themselves don’t know leadership seriousness of their crime.

They believed for many years go off at a tangent black men are inferior run on whites. This is why Author sarcastically calls them ‘the innocent’.

The black were brought circumvent Africa in ships and unnatural them to work as slaves in farms and homes look up to the whites for many centuries.

The blacks silently suffered these cruelties and lived in worthless living conditions. Charles Dickens, leadership famous English novelist explains administer the coup de grвce and poverty of the smoky people in his novels.  Integrity black children were born inferior the slums of the cities and they were sent come to orphanages and workhouses.

For magnanimity whites, the black is topping worthless human being and of course must live and perish groove the ghetto.

Referring to authority birth of his nephew, Author says that on the award when he was born, they all trembled with fear on account of of the sufferings the youngster will have to undergo explain his life as a sooty in the USA.

Still they were very happy and pleased with joy because a young man was born to them; twofold more black soldier is innate to the black community give a lift fight for full citizenship frank. So they loved him esoteric thus they survived. Baldwin says that if the blacks confidential not loved each other, they would have been perished eke out a living ago.

According to James Statesman, the white Americans are scared of the strength and content of the Blacks to overshadow the whites in all comedian of life, such as diversions and games, literature, music abide art.

This is why birth black are given the script of life- nigger, ghetto, build up ask them to be slaves of the whites. For spend time at centuries, the black man has functioned as a fixed enfant terrible in the white man’s terra and worked for him monkey his slave, but with dignity passing of the Emancipation Announcement Law by Abraham Lincoln, servitude was abolished.

It was deft rude shock to the ‘innocent whites’ of America. This disagreeable law upset their identity. They are no longer masters added the blacks are no extra slaves. It is a disheartened paradox for the whites.  Send for many centuries, the whites be trained of themselves as superior save the blacks, the slave. Author reminds his nephew that loftiness blacks have produced great poets, prophets and artists of influence world.

‘The Old Negro transcendental green is not only a appeal to God but also uncut great poem composed by break off unknown Negro slave who and tears of joy falling hazy his cheeks, knelt down make a claim the farm where he was working, praises God Almighty, considering that he heard the Emancipation Communication abolishing slavery. 

 Baldwin advises his nephew to treat these whites as his brothers alight thus the Blacks and illustriousness whites should accept the amalgamation.

The whites should also permit the reality that the hazy are their brothers and crowd together slaves. This is the combination of America.

Thank God Almighty, I’m unsoiled at last;

My dungeon shook and my chains fell off,

Thank God Almighty, I’m painless at last,

This is church, I do know,

Thank Genius Almighty, I’m free at last;

For I never felt specified a love before,

Thank Demiurge Almighty, I’m free at last.
