returned James Baldwin to prominence, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI considered the Harlem-born author the most powerful broker between black art and black power. Baldwin’s 1,884-page FBI file, covering the period from 1958 to 1974, was the largest compiled on any African American artist of the Civil Rights era. This collection of once-secret documents, never before published in book form, captures the FBI’s anxious tracking of Baldwin’s writings, phone conversations, and sexual habits—and Baldwin’s defiant efforts to spy back at Hoover and his G-men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eJames Baldwin: The FBI File\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e reproduces over one hundred original FBI records, selected by the noted literary historian whose award-winning book, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eF.B.
