James Baldwin: America's native son.
Abstract
James Baldwin's work combines autobiography and social commentary in a manner that still illuminates the thorniest race issues in the United States, including black anti-Semitism, the alienation of black youth, and the attempted silencing of black voices. His unique individual experience as a gay African-American male gave him insights into the social construction of gender, race, and national character. His essays continue to challenge the reader and the educator to understand common struggle of all citizens--white or of color--to define the American identity.
