Reveals the significant role that Turkish locales, cultures, and friends played in James Baldwin's life and thought. This book demonstrates how Baldwin's Turkish sojourns enabled him to re-imagine himself as a black queer writer and to revise his views of American identity and US race relations as the 1960s drew to a close.
