<p>'A scrupulous biography' <em>Publishers Weekly</em></p><p>'Fresh, incisive, and uplifting' <em>Kirkus</em></p><p>'If you want to know the real Baldwin, this is the book to read' Robin D.G. Kelley, author of <em>Thelonious Monk</em></p><p>James Baldwin is an icon of liberation who created some of the most important literary works of his time, including the novels <em>Go Tell It on the Mountain</em> and <em>If Beale Street Could Talk</em>. Here, Bill V. Mullen celebrates the life of the great African-American writer and activist.</p><p>As a lifelong anti-imperialist, black queer advocate, and feminist, James Baldwin was a passionate chronicler of the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the US war against Vietnam, the Palestinian liberation struggle, and the rise of LGBTQ+ rights.</p><p>Mullen pays homage to Baldwin's truly radical approach to his life, writing and activism. Constantly in struggle for an anti-racist, emancipated world, Baldwin's philosophy and politics were ahead of their time, predicting many of today's movements such as Black Lives Matter.</p>
