	James Baldwin: An Appreciation
		James Baldwin isn't much commented on these days, but for a few years in the early 1960s he lit up the cultural landscape like a bolt from the heavens-a prophet of the decade's fl liberation struggle who became one of the most widely read African-American writers in this country's history.
		Baldwin's great strength as an essayist is the dialectic contained in his style, which serves at the same time as a supple means of expression of the movement of his thought, and as an effective rhetoric, drawing the reader into new territories which might not have been entered had warning been posted in advance.
		Baldwin himself was galvanized, and often thrown into a sort of frenzy, by the movement (which itself became increasingly frenzied as the decade progressed), and came to support, albeit from a distance, most of the moves toward greater militancy.
