All those strangers : the art and lives of James Baldwin

Field, Douglas, 1974-2015
Book
Viewing James Baldwin through a cultural-historical lens, in parallel with a more traditional literary critical approach, Douglas Field examines how his fiction and nonfiction shaped and responded to key political and cultural developments in the United States from the 1940s to the 1980s. Showing how external forces molded Baldwin's personal, political and psychological development, he breaks through the established critical difficulties caused by Baldwin's geographical, ideological and artistic multiplicity by analysing his life and work against the radically transformative politics of his time.
