Thema: James Baldwin

James Baldwin
(* 2. August 1924; ? 1. Dezember 1987) war einer der bedeutendsten schwulen und afroamerikanischen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts.
Seine Erzählungen sind berühmt für den persönlichen Stil, in dem Fragen der Identität von Schwarzen und Schwulen zur Sprache kommen, lange bevor die soziale, kulturelle oder politische Gleichstellung dieser Gruppen erkämpft wurde.
