Baldwin's life on the left: from New York -- Intellectual to disturber of the peace -- Radical Baldwin and the FBI: from the rights movement to black power -- James Baldwin's religion: sex, love and blues -- "I am a stranger everywhere": travel and transnational tensions in Baldwin's work -- Afterword.

Summary: This study examines how James Baldwin's fiction and non-fiction shaped and responded to key political and cultural developments in the United States from the 1940s to the 1980s. It is animated by an examination of how external forces moulded Baldwin's personal, political, and psychological development and gave shape to his writing. The book views Baldwin through a cultural-historical lens alongside a more traditional literary critical approach.
