Dr. Conseula Francis Publishes Critical Study on James Baldwin

Congratulations to Dr. Conseula Francis on the publication of The Critical Reception of James Baldwin, 1963-2010. Baldwin, an openly gay, African-American writer who lived through the battle for civil rights, was a novelist, essayist, playwright, and poet as well as a social critic. His long career and body of work, as Dr. Francis’s book evinces, is a testimony to the power of literature and writing to move others and to effect change in society.
