Recenzii
"Jules B. Farber's book, James Baldwin - Escape from America, Exile in Provence, is a story woven from over seventy interviews with friends, associates, and lovers of James Baldwin about the seventeen years (1970-1987) that Baldwin lived in the French provincial town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It is MUST READ for those wanting to better understand Baldwin's thoughts, fears, actions, and works written during these last years of his life." - Les Amis de Beauford Delaney, May 2017
[Farber] illustrates a truer sense of his home in Saint Paul de Vence than anything else I've read, something that I yearned for. Lizzetta LeFalle-Collins, writer, curator, and art historian, University of San Francisco
Jules Farbers book is one such achievement, bringing back to life his talented, colourful, controversial fellow countryman James Baldwin. Lynne Anderson, Anglo-American Group of Provence
. . . it revealed a very complicated negotiation on Baldwins part with the European version of white supremacy. Todd Steven Burroughs, DrumsInTheGlobalVillage.com
Cet ouvrage se concentre exclusivement sur les 17 dernires annes mconnues de d'exil auto-impos de James Baldwin Saint-Paul de Vence, dans le sud de la France, de 1970 jusqu' son dcs en 1987. En tant que premier Noir sinstaller dans cette enclave entirement blanche avec une population agricole conservatrice, Baldwin rencontra au tout dbut le mme genre de racisme qu'il avait connu aux tats-Unis. Collectif James Baldwin, Paris, France on Change.org
"Lately, there has been no shortage of critical attention and homage paid to James Baldwin. Raoul Pecks documentary I Am Not Your Negro draws an important line between Baldwins civil rightsoriented writing and activism in the 1960s and the Black Lives Matter era we currently inhabit. But one of the most compelling and underpublicized works Ive encountered is Jules B. Farbers superb 2016biography James Baldwin: Escape from America, Exile in Provence.It painstakingly fleshes out the writers final 17 years, which he spent living in a sprawling farmhousecurrently in danger of being demolished by a developerjust outside the walled medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, in the south of France. The book is especially worth considering in juxtaposition to the Peck documentary and the somewhat narrow image it portrays of the authors earlier, fiery, angry tone of the sixties, as Farber writes. He correctly points out that Baldwin, in the face of attacks from a younger generation of black writers and activists, was able to seek refuge and take distance and become more complex and humane with a more lucid vision of race relations, human tolerance, and understanding in Provence." - Thomas Chatterton Williams, The American Scholar April 2017
