Of Latitudes Unknown is a multi-faceted study of James Baldwin's
radical imagination. It is a selective and thoughtful survey that
re-investigates the grounds of Baldwin studies and provides new
critical approaches, subjects, and orientations for Baldwin
criticism. This volume joins recent critical collections in
"un-fragmenting" Baldwin and establishing further conjunctions in
his work: the essay and the novel; the polemical and the aesthetic;
his use of and participation in visual forms; and his American as
well as international identities. But it goes beyond other recent
studies by focusing on new entities of Baldwin's radical
imagination: his English and French language selves; his late
encounters with Africa; his appearances on French television and
interviews with French journalists; and his unrecognized literary
journalism. Of Latitudes Unknown also addresses Baldwin's relations
with the Arab world, his anticipation of contemporary film and
media studies, and his paradoxical public intellectualism. As it
reassesses Baldwin's contributions to and influences on world
literary history, Of Latitudes Unknown equally explores why the
critical appreciation of Baldwin's writing continues to flourish,
and why it remains a vast territory whose parts lie open to much
deeper exploration and elaboration.
