Journal Article
James Baldwin scholars confront France
2016
Overview
Baldwin said repeatedly that he made France his (writing) home- first from 1948 to the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement in late 1950s, then from 1970 to his death in 1987 at the age of 63- because he was afraid that, as a Black man, he was going to either kill or be killed in America. About 240 scholars, activists and writers from across the world came to a cautious nation -in a state of emergency until July, implemented after last November's terrorist attack-to honor their hero by gathering in his name and examining every facet of his life and work they could squeeze into the three days. When Baldwin wrote in his last book, The Evidence of Things Not Seen, that the Western World was \"located somewhere between the Statue of Liberty and a pillar of salt,\" he meant France, too.
