Résumé

The Harlem-born son of a storefront preacher, James Baldwin died almost thirty years ago, but his spirit lives on in the still-relevant musings of his novels, short stories, essays, and poems. In Understanding James Baldwin, Marc Dudley shows that a proper grasp of Baldwin's work begins with a grasp of the times in which he wrote.
