The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin (Cambridge Companions to Literature) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

This Companion offers fresh insight into the art and politics of James Baldwin, one of the most important writers and provocative cultural critics of the twentieth century. Black, gay, and gifted, he was hailed as a 'spokesman for the race', although he personally, and controversially, eschewed titles and classifications of all kinds. Individual essays examine his classic novels and nonfiction as well as his work across lesser-examined domains: poetry, music, theatre, sermon, photo-text, children's literature, public media, comedy, and artistic collaboration. In doing so, The Cambridge Companion to James Baldwin captures the power and influence of his work during the civil rights era as well as his relevance in the 'post-race' transnational twenty-first century, when his prescient questioning of the boundaries of race, sex, love, leadership, and country assume new urgency.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Companion … addresses Baldwin's work in relation to his social and political contexts, as well as examining lesser-studied aspects of his oeuvre, including his collaborations, his poetry, and - best of all - his humour."
Rona Cran, The Times Literary Supplement

    The Kindle version (on an iPad, at any rate) has quite a lot of typographic errors. Can't these be fixed, please? The content looks great, but it's hard to read.
