The Story
Publisher : Brooklyn Museum and Dancing Foxes Press
In 'God Made My Face', edited by Hilton Als on the occasion of the centenary of Baldwinâs birth, texts by Hilton Als, Stephen Best, Daphne A. Brooks, Teju Cole, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Barry Jenkins, Jamaica Kincaid, David Leeming, and Darryl Pinckney create a kind of mosaic, one that not only mirrorâs Baldwinâs various voices but examines, closely, his sui generis contributions to cinema, theater, the essay, and Black American critical studies - including queerness. Each author speaks from a personal, informed perspective - through voices that are both imbued with Baldwinâs deeply personal, anguished, and enlightened voice and his belief that, ultimately, because we are human, we share the potential to love and connect.
With images of artwork by Diane Arbus, EugĂšne Atget, Richard Avedon, Don Bachardy, Alvin Baltrop, Anthony Barboza, Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Beauford Delaney, Marlene Dumas, Glenn Ligon, George McCalman, Alice Neel, Elle PĂ©rez, Cameron Rowland, Kara Walker, James Welling, and Larry Wolhandler.
