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.
