James Baldwin

**Bhí James Arthur Baldwin** (2 Lúnasa 1924 – 1 Nollaig 1987) ina úrscéalaí, drámadóir, tráchtóir agus fheachtasóir Mheiriceánach.

Pléann aistí Baldwin, mar shampla *Notes of a Native Son* (1955), cúrsaí cine, gnéas agus aicme san Iarthar, i lár an fichiú haois, go háirithe sna Stáit Aontaithe agus an chaoi a chruthaigh na cúrsaí seo deachrachtaí don phobal gorm den chuid is mó.

Rugadh Baldwin ar an dara lá de Lúnasa, 1924 in Harlem, Manhattan, Nua Eabhrach. D'fhreastal sé ar  DeWitt Clinton High School agus The New School. Bhí Baldwin aerach. Níor phós sé riamh agus ní raibh clann air. D'éag Baldwin ar an chéad lá de Nollaig, 1987 in Saint-Paul de Vence, France, in aois  63 bliana dó, de bharr ailse esofagais.
