James Baldwin In Context by William D. Miller
A multidisciplinary collection that situates the writer’s life and work within historical, political, religious, racial, sexual, and transnational contexts, it maps how his fiction, essays, plays, and public persona emerged from and responded to the civil rights era, Black intellectual traditions, and expatriate experiences. Contributors examine themes such as faith, queerness, masculinity, citizenship, and artistic form, as well as engagements with music, film, theater, and journalism. The volume also addresses reception, pedagogy, and adaptation, showing how his voice continues to inform contemporary debates about race, democracy, and belonging.
