James Baldwin was an American novelist and social critic whose essays in Notes of a Native Son explored race, sex and class distinctions.--In the 1960s, the FBI amassed almost 2,000 documents in an investigation into one of Americas most celebrated minds. The subject of this inquiry was a writer named James Baldwin, one of the best-selling black authors in the world at the time. What made him loom so large in the imaginations of both the public and the authorities? Christina Greer explores the life and works of James Baldwin.Lesson by Christina Greer, directed by Jrmie Balais and Jeffig Le Bars.Sound design by Raphal PibarotMusic by Johan PutetSign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/notes-of-a-native-son-the-world-according-to-james-baldwin-christina-greerThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
