But it goes beyond other recent studies by focusing on new entities of Baldwin's radical imagination: his English and French language selves; his late encounters with Africa; his appearances on French television and interviews with French journalists; and his unrecognized literary journalism. \u003ci\u003eOf Latitudes Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e also addresses Baldwin's relations with the Arab world, his anticipation of contemporary film and media studies, and his paradoxical public intellectualism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As it reassesses Baldwin's contributions to and influences on world literary history, \u003ci\u003eOf Latitudes Unknown \u003c\/i\u003eequally explores why the critical appreciation of Baldwin's writing continues to flourish, and why it remains a vast territory whose parts lie open to much deeper exploration and elaboration.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Mikal Craven \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Comparative Literature at the American University of Paris, France, and Chair of Film Studies.
