When Baldwin Tried To Write The Revolution
from The Revolution Televised · host Prince Shakur
A review of TELL ME HOW LONG THE TRAIN'S BEEN GONE by James Baldwin. I explore Leo Proudhammer’s relationships with the people around him, especially the emotional and political tensions between Leo and Caleb. I also discuss how the novel reflects Baldwin’s shifting worldview in the late 1960s and 70s, as Black radical life, liberation movements, and America itself were rapidly changing.TELL ME HOW LONG THE TRAIN'S BEEN GONE (Bookshop affiliate): https://bookshop.org/a/23229/9780375701894----------
