UNC’s Randall Kenan will discuss and sign copies of the new book he’s edited, The Cross of Redemption, a collection of James Baldwin’s writings which have never previously appeared in book form. Baldwin’s topic can often be subsumed under race, but he most consistently wrestles with questions of moral integrity—in the language, in the artist’s work, in the assessment of history, and in one’s personal life. Kenan is a professor in the department of English and comparative literature at UNC-CH and the author of several books, including Let the Dead Bury Their Dead.
