The Complete Works of James Baldwin
Author, playwright, essayist, activist, and thinker who defined a generation, James Baldwin was as profound as he was prolific. His last, uncompleted project—I Am Not Your Negro—is now being brought to theatres 30 years after his death. Like his many other works, I Am Not Your Negro is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America. But Baldwin also delved into numerous other topics, including sexual orientation, nationality, love, hope, memory, and selfhood. To pick up any of the below works is to engage with one of the most powerful and insightful minds of the 20th century.
