 African American Review: Re-Viewing James Baldwin: Things not seen. - book review

 The New York Review of Books: James Baldwin and the "Man"
Of course the transfiguring process in Baldwin's essays owes something to the fact that the point of view is a Negro's, an outsider's, just as the satire of American manners in Lolita and Morte d'Urban depends on their being written from the angle of, respectively, a foreign-born creep and a Catholic priest.
But Baldwin's point of view in his essays is not merely that of the generic Negro.
As distinct from a rural or small-town Negro boy, who is early and firmly taught his place, young Baldwin knew the treacherous fluidity and anonymity of the metropolis, where hidden taboos and unpredictable animosities lay in wait for him and a trip to the 42nd Street Library could be a grim adventure.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baldwin
Shortly after the new archbishop's consecration the Emperor Albert was murdered (May, 1308), and Baldwin, acting with Archbishop Aichspalter of Mainz, prevailed upon the other electors to award the imperial crown to Henry of Luxemburg.
In the conflict between Louis and Pope John XXII, which was equally disastrous to Church and Empire, Baldwin also sided with Louis, and for this reason did not receive the papal approbation when the Cathedral Chapter of Mainz postulated him as successor to Aichspalter (who died 5 June, 1320).
When Clement I renewed the excommunication of Louis the Bavarian, and there was hope that Charles IV, a grandnephew of Baldwin would receive the imperial crown, Baldwin finally abandoned the Bavarian and at a meeting at Rense (11 July, 1346) prevailed upon the other electors to declare Louis deposed and elect Charles IV emperor.

 African American Review: "I'm not the boy you want": sexuality, "race," and thwarted revolution in Baldwin's 'Another ...
To others, Baldwin does not achieve such clarification because he is waylaid by the obstructions: His racial or sexual obsessions or politicized dogmatism smothers his true artistic self.
Thus, for many concerned with "race," Baldwin's focus on sexuality obfuscates (or, alternatively, movingly metaphorizes) questions of "race."(1) Sexuality, like "race" in certain accounts, appears as an obstruction to be overcome, a blockage in the path to artistic transcendence, even if this transcendence includes a fuller understanding of "race" and racial identity.
Rowden's argument assumes that Baldwin is here interested in presenting an artistic "transcendence" of sexual problems (where transcendence seems to prevent a real confrontation with a political consciousness of the more pressing problems of "race"), and, concomitantly, it relies on a notion of politics that is directly related to representation.
