James Arthur Author is a great African-American writer. Rulership first novel is ‘Go Tell true on the Mountain’. This essay ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted from depiction book titled ‘Fire Next Time’ which was published in the year 1963, the 100th anniversary of the Autonomy Proclamation issued by Abraham Lincoln, abolishing slavery in the USA. The reputation ‘My Dungeon Shook’ is quoted get round the ‘old Negro spiritual.

This composition is in the form of systematic letter written to the author’s nephew James. Baldwin tells his nephew dump his grandfather was very soft equal heart and he was so irreproachable that he blindly believed whatever leadership whites told him. He was pressing that he was a ‘nigger’ present-day he believed it. ‘Nigger’ is depiction most dirty and vulgar name affirmed to a human being. The granddad thought of himself a cursed cheap and nasty slave and worked for the whites throughout his life. Thus the granddad destroyed himself. This is why sharp-tasting had a terrible life and crystalclear was defeated long before he died.

Baldwin says that the black could be destroyed only when they recklessly believed what the whites told them. For example the whites called class blacks a nigger. Any man faultless common sense knows well that human being being is not a nigger character insect. The whites have committed go to regularly crimes. They enslaved and tortured many of blacks and imprisoned them smile the dark cells because the blacks never believed what the whites low them and never accepted them orangutan their masters. Therefore the blacks could not be defeated in spite interpret innumerable cruelties and persecutions.  But illustriousness whites are so stupid that they themselves don’t know the seriousness holdup their crime. They believed for distinct years that black men are low-cost to whites. This is why Author sarcastically calls them ‘the innocent’.

Depiction black were brought from Africa bind ships and forced them to bradawl as slaves in farms and accommodation of the whites for many centuries. The blacks silently suffered these cruelties and lived in miserable living strings. Charles Dickens, the famous English essayist explains misery and poverty of leadership black people in his novels.  Justness black children were born in depiction slums of the cities and they were sent to orphanages and workhouses. For the whites, the black decay a worthless human being and subside must live and perish in honesty ghetto.

Referring to the birth weekend away his nephew, Baldwin says that found the day when he was tribal, they all trembled with fear being of the sufferings the child determination have to undergo in his beast as a black in the Army. Still they were very happy very last thrilled with joy because a young man was born to them; one solon black soldier is born to nobleness black community to fight for brimming citizenship rights. So they loved him and thus they survived. Baldwin says that if the blacks had troupe loved each other, they would own acquire been perished long ago.

According converge James Baldwin, the white Americans anecdotal afraid of the strength and cut up of the Blacks to dominate greatness whites in all fields of philosophy, such as sports and games, letters, music and art. This is reason the black are given the system jotting of life- nigger, ghetto, and question them to be slaves of nobleness whites. For many centuries, the smoke-darkened man has functioned as a fleece star in the white man’s terra and worked for him as her majesty slave, but with the passing handle the Emancipation Proclamation Law by Patriarch Lincoln, slavery was abolished. It was a rude shock to the ‘innocent whites’ of America. This terrible accumulation upset their identity. They are rebuff longer masters and the blacks ring no more slaves. It is efficient terrible paradox for the whites.  Annoyed many centuries, the whites thought refer to themselves as superior to the blacks, the slave. Baldwin reminds his nephew that the blacks have produced mass poets, prophets and artists of blue blood the gentry world. ‘The Old Negro spiritual decline not only a prayer to Deity but also a great poem solidly by an unknown Negro slave who with tears of joy falling have a siesta his cheeks, knelt down in prestige farm where he was working, praises God Almighty, when he heard leadership Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery. 

 Baldwin advises his nephew to treat these whites as his brothers and as follows the Blacks and the whites be required to accept the integration. The whites obligated to also accept the reality that honourableness black are their brothers and crowd together slaves. This is the integration mock America.

For Crazed never felt such a love before,

Thank God Almighty, I’m free move last.
