Editorial Reviews
Review
"If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one."
--Michael Ondaatje
"The best essayist in this country--a man whose power has always been in his reasoned, biting sarcasm; his insistence on removing layer by layer the hardened skin with which Americans shield themselves from their country."
--The New York Times Book Review
"It will be hard for the reader to see these films in quite the same way again."
--The Christian Science Monitor
"He has taken the old subject of race and made it even more personal probing perhaps more deeply than ever before into American racial practices."
--The Nation
"A provocative discussion."
--Saturday Review
