Decades before Black Lives Matter returned James Baldwin to prominence, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI considered the Harlem-born author the most powerful broker between black art and black power. Baldwin's 1,884-page FBI file, covering the period from 1958 to 1974, was the largest compiled on any African American artist of the Civil Rights era. This collection of once-secret documents, never before published in book form, captures the FBI's anxious tracking of Baldwin's writings, phone conversations, and sexual habits-and Baldwin's defiant efforts to spy back at Hoover and his G-men. James Baldwin: The FBI File reproduces over one hundred original FBI records, selected by the noted literary historian whose award-winning book, F.B. Eyes: How J. Edgar Hoover's Ghostreaders Framed African American Literature, brought renewed attention to bureau surveillance. William J. Maxwell also provides a substantial introduction and running commentaries that orient the reader and offer historical context, making this book a revealing look at a crucial slice of the American past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Baldwin, James, $d 1924-1987. 610 10 $a United States. $b Federal Bureau of Investigation $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017021550.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221025012416.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210804013024.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014345.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006105311.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48E1974A774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
