Join us to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the trailblazing African American author, James Baldwin.
Encounters with James Baldwin is a wide-ranging volume of short essays, reflections, interviews, poetry and photography by over 30 contributors from the literary world, demonstrating the significant legacy of the writer and activist who spoke truth to power during the era of the fight for Black civil liberties in the US, and after.
Join Kadija Sesay, Michael McMillan, Gabrielle Beckles-Raymond and a selection of other contributors, some of whom talk of their personal meeting with Baldwin. They reveal the influence of Baldwin’s thought, speech and writing on their personal journeys and their awareness of the need for social justice.
