“I think that James Baldwin is, for sure, one of the most important American writer/thinkers of his time... not just African-American. He singled-handily revolutionized the political, artistic and historical discourses about America. He created his particular and original language.” ThinkingImportantAmericaPoliticalLanguageParticularOriginalsHistoricalArtisticAfrican AmericanThinkerDiscourseAmerican Writer Author:Raoul Peck
“James Baldwin is one of the greatest, North American writers of the second half of the Twentieth Century. A prolific writer and a brilliant social critic, he foreshadowed the destructive trends happening now in the whole Western world and beyond, while always maintaining a sense of humanistic hope and dignity. He explored palpable, yet unspoken, intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies and the inevitable, if unnameable, tensions with personal identity, assumptions, uncertainties, yearning, and questing.” IfsWorldWholeSocialHalfClassCenturyIdentityHappeningsDignityCriticsWesternBrilliantInevitableUncertaintyTensionAssumptionDistinctionDestructiveTrendsYearningMaintainingTwentieth CenturyUnspokenWestern WorldAmerican WriterHumanisticIntricacyPersonal IdentityWestern SocietyClass Distinction Author:Raoul Peck
