Re-viewing James Baldwin : things not seen
This new collection of essays presents a critical reappraisal of James Baldwin's work, looking beyond the commercial and critical success of some of Baldwin's early writings, such as "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and "Notes of a Native Son". Focusing on Baldwin's critically undervalued early works and the virtually neglected later ones, the contributors illuminate little known aspects of this daring author's work, and highly his accomplishments as an experimental writer. Attentive to his innovations in style and form, "Re-Viewing James Baldwin" reveals an author who continually challenged the notions of unity as he tackled matters of social justice, sexuality, and racial identity. -- From publisher's description
