James Baldwin's Turkish Decade

Erotics of Exile

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Drawing on oral history, archival research, literary analysis, cultural studies, and personal narrative/(auto)ethnography, Magdalena J. Zaborowska renders a multitextured reading of James Baldwin's years in Istanbul. No one else has so thoroughly examined the influence of those years on Baldwin's work, and anyone who comes after will have to cite Zaborowska. And I dare say that no one will be able to capture this story as well as she has. "James Baldwin's Turkish Decade" will change the field of Baldwin studies."--E. Patrick Johnson, co-editor of "Black Queer Studies: A Critical Anthology"
