Description

In this episode, Dr. Ernest Gibson, an Associate Professor of English at Auburn University, joins us to talk about the fictional works of James Baldwin. Come along as we dive into the complex themes of salvation, gender, black masculinity, and intersectionality in some of James Baldwin’s most prominent fictional works. Dr. Gibson hopes to show us that the work done by Baldwin, while it often seems transparent, uses “quiet intimacies” to bring attention to his major causes.
