Aprašymas

'A scrupulous biography' - Publishers Weekly 'Fresh, incisive, and uplifting' - Kirkus Bill V. Mullen celebrates the life of the great African-American writer who created some of the most important literary works of his time, including the novels Go Tell it to the Mountain and If Beale Street Could Talk. As a lifelong anti-imperialist, black queer advocate, and feminist, James Baldwin was a passionate chronicler of the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the US war against Vietnam, the Palestinian liberation struggle, and the rise of LGBTQ+ rights. Here, Mullen pays homage to Baldwin's truly radical approach to his life, his writing, and his activism. Fighting towards what he hoped would be a post-racial society, Baldwin's philosophy was tragically ahead of its time, predicting becoming the new civil rights movement today.
