‘James Baldwin this time’
by Paul Kane
This week on the ABR Podcast, Paul Kane marks the centenary of James Baldwin with an essay on this indispensable prophet.

Paul Kane is Professor Emeritus as Vassar College in upstate New York. Listen to Paul Kane’s ‘James Baldwin this time: The centenary of an indispensable prophet’, published in the August issue of ABR.
