Golden on Baldwin's Letter



Golden, Harry. "A Comment on James Baldwin's Letter." Crisis Mar. 1963: 145-46. Google Books
Web. 16 Dec. 2012. 

Golden discusses the absolute importance of Baldwin’s letter in the New Yorker, and as well as a few others, clearly sees his anger towards the white man. Golden moves on to discuss what he believes are Baldwin’s ulterior motives, maybe even subconscious ones, in his Letter. This piece seems to be completely based on opinion and therefore seems unreliable as a source beyond using it as just opinion piece, but again, it is interesting to see Baldwin’s influence in historical context.
