Description
Summary:This short article is an exploration of selected portions of the essays and non-fiction of James Baldwin. In recent years the writings of Baldwin have enjoyed something of a renaissance. A new generation has been exposed to his work and the existence of video recordings of Baldwin has assisted in bringing his potent ideas to life. Baldwin's importance as a social critic and public intellectual has been confirmed by his nearly prescient engagement with issues and challenges that confront African American communities today.
