James Baldwin

James Baldwin è un autore americano ampiamente noto per i suoi romanzi, saggi e poesie. Ha scritto su una vasta gamma di argomenti complessi e personali, tra cui razza, sesso e distinzioni di classe, spesso trattati in ambientazioni fittizie e fornendo commentari acuti e riflessivi sui problemi sociali del suo tempo.

Nato a Harlem, Baldwin era il primogenito di nove figli. Divenne predicatore in tenera età, ma in seguito si rivolse alla letteratura quando la sua fede passò dalla religione alla scrittura. Nonostante questo, i canti appassionati delle chiese nere sono ancora evidenti nella sua scrittura. Il primo romanzo di Baldwin, "Go Tell It on the Mountain", è un resoconto parzialmente autobiografico della sua giovinezza. Le sue collezioni di saggi, tra cui "Notes of a Native Son", "Nobody Knows My Name" e "The Fire Next Time", sono state influenti nel informare un vasto pubblico sulla realtà di essere nero in America.

Baldwin ha trascorso gran parte della sua vita in Francia, ma spesso tornava negli Stati Uniti per insegnare o tenere lezioni. Era un uomo apertamente gay ed è diventato sempre più esplicito nel condannare la discriminazione contro le persone lesbiche e gay. I suoi romanzi, come "Giovanni's Room" e "Another Country", includono temi gay e sono stati accolti con critiche da alcuni nella comunità nera. Tuttavia, Baldwin ha continuato a scrivere potentemente sul razzismo americano in opere come "Going to Meet the Man" e "Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone". È morto nel 1987 in Francia per un cancro allo stomaco.
