James Baldwin in Context provides a wide-ranging collection of approaches to the work of an essential black American author
who is just as relevant now as he was during his turbulent heyday in the mid-twentieth century. The perspectives range from
those who knew Baldwin personally, to scholars who have dedicated decades to studying him, to a new generation of scholars
for whom Baldwin is nearly a historical figure. This collection complements the ever-growing body of scholarship on Baldwin
by combining traditional inroads into his work, such as music and expatriation, with new approaches, such as intersectionality
and the Black Lives Matter movement.
