James Baldwin: "The Cross of Redemption"

"The Cross of Redemption," the new anthology of the uncollected works of James Baldwin has been published just at the right time.

He was a brilliant thinker and impeccable writer whose insights continue to challenge readers to think critically and deeply about their beliefs and opinions.
