ENGL 157 SC - James Baldwin: Influences and Legacy
This course examines the work of James Baldwin, his influences, and legacy both in the United States and internationally. It examines Baldwin’s enduring relevance and legacy as one of America’s most foremost 20th century writers whose political ideas continue to be widely cited in an age of unresolved racial tensions in the US. His works have influenced Nobel laureates (Japan), as well as contemporary writers, playwrights, essayists and filmmakers internationally who continue to see in his corpus a guide, artistically, stylistically and ideologically. The course thus explores the aesthetics and politics of the James Baldwin in historical and contemporary contexts.
