Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1Baldwin’s life was devoted to exposing the American nation’s moral failure and the power of love to revive it. He was not a conceited man, but he saw himself as a kind of savior.

#2 James’s stepfather, the Reverend David Baldwin, was a perfect example of a subservient wage earner. He was a preacher who had been prevented from providing his family with what they needed most: their birthright and their identity as individuals rather than as members of a race.

#3 The family’s poverty and oppression was made worse by the presence of a black parody of the white Great God Almighty. His stepfather made fun of his eyes and called him the ugliest child he had ever seen, and his mother had the same eyes and mouth as he did, so he assumed she was ugly.

#4 Baldwin’s stepfather, David, was a black man who had been mistreated by white people. He was a model for the many fictional brothers who suffered at the hands of the white law in Baldwin’s books.
