James Baldwin Books in Order
James Baldwin is a renowned American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. He offers a vital literary voice during the era of civil rights activism in the 1950s and '60s. Born to a family of nine children, Baldwin's stepfather was a minister who played a significant influence on his early life.
