Revisiting James Baldwin 1A, Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 0am Author, speaker, playwright and activist James Baldwin's legacy has affected American consciousness for decades. And while much of his most notable work was completed in the 1950s, '60s and '70s, Baldwin is everywhere today. Activists are inspired by him, authors are compared to him, and a new documentary 'I Am Not Your Negro' has received exuberant critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination. What's behind this resurgence, and what makes his work so profoundly true in our present moment? (aurevoir)… (more)James Baldwin has 7 past events.

I was not born to be defined by someone else, but by myself, and myself only.” When, in the fall of 1987, the poet Quincy Troupe traveled to the south of France to interview James Baldwin, Baldwin’s brother David told him to ask Baldwin about everything—Baldwin was critically ill and David knew that this might be the writer’s last chance to speak at length about his life and work.
The result is one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin’s career, a conversation that ranges widely over such topics as his childhood in Harlem, his close friendship with Miles Davis, his relationship with writers like Toni Morrison and Richard Wright, his years in France, and his ever-incisive thoughts on the history of race relations and the African-American experience.
Also collected here are significant interviews from other moments in Baldwin’s life, including an in-depth interview conducted by Studs Terkel shortly after the publication of Nobody Knows My Name. These interviews showcase, above all, Baldwin’s fearlessness and integrity as a writer, thinker, and individual, as well as the profound struggles he faced along the way.
