Synopsis
James Baldwin was one of the great literary rebels of the 20th century, a fiery product of the Harlem scene who clashed and communed with other greats like Langston Hughes and Richard Wright. As an African-American and a homosexual, Baldwin wrote fearlessly about issues of identity and social prejudice, and his activism was equally bold and influential. Herb Boyd, a native New Yorker himself, writes convincingly of the way Harlem shaped Baldwin and Baldwin, in turn, shaped Harlem, for even after the writer expatriated to Paris, his hometown experiences continued to fuel his writing and affect his worldview.
