SUMMARY:American Prophets: James Baldwin & Queer Spirituality (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Despite James Baldwin’s disavowal of Christianity in his youth\, he continued to engage the symbols and theology of Christianity in works such as The Amen Corner\, Just Above My Head\, and others. With his new book Jimmy’s Faith: James Baldwin\, Disidentification\, and the Queer Possibilities of Black Religion\, author Christopher W. Hunt shows how Baldwin’s usage of those religious symbols both shifted their meaning and served as a way for him to build his own religious and spiritual vision. \nHunt is interviewed by Northwestern professor Ivy Wilson. Books will be available for purchase and Hunt will sign them following the program. \nThis is the livestream of an in person program at the American Writers Museum. When you register for this event\, you will receive access to the livestream link. If you would like to attend the program at the AWM\, get your tickets here. \nThis program is presented in conjunction with the AWM’s forthcoming special exhibit American Prophets: Writers\, Religion\, and Culture\, opening November 2025. American Prophets is supported by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. through its Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative.
