James Baldwin in France
Expatriation as an influence on Baldwin's work / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Baldwin (1924–1987) was born in and lived his entire childhood and adolescence in Harlem, New York. He expatriated and lived most of his adult life in France, though he traveled frequently and had extended stays in other countries (Switzerland and Turkey). He lived in Paris for nine years and in Saint-Paul-de-Vence for 17 years. France and his other stays abroad provided him with a vantage point for observing his own, American culture, which was the main subject of his work.
