Summary
In the first major biography of Baldwin in more than a decade, Bill V. Mullen celebrates the personal and political life of the great African American writer who changed the face of Western politics and culture.
As a lifelong anti-imperialist, Black queer advocate, and feminist, Baldwin (1924-1987) was a passionate chronicler of the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the US war against Vietnam, Palestinian liberation struggle, and the rise of LGBTQ rights.
Mullen explores how Baldwin's life and work channel the long history of African American freedom struggles, and explains how Baldwin both predicted and has become a symbol of the global Black Lives Matter movement.
