James Baldwin was an American writer best known for his essays and novels dealing with racial and sexual politics.
Born in New York in 1924, his family was very poor and he was often required to care for his younger siblings. The events of his 19th birthday, which included his stepfather’s funeral, the birth of his last sibling, and a riot in Harlem, were documented in his essay, Notes of a Native Son.
Baldwin became involved in the artistic community of Greenwich Village when he was a teenager. In 1948, he moved to Paris to move beyond the restrictions of being an African American writer. While there, he began publishing work in literary anthologies.
Go Tell It on the Mountain, his first novel, was published in 1953. Notes of a Native Son, a collection of essays, was published in 1955. The two books would become some of his best known works.
