Eddie Glaude, African American scholar and author, discusses the relevance of James Baldwin's work in today's America. They explore issues such as racial identity, the lie at the heart of America's self-conception, and the collapse of efforts to uphold democracy's ideals. They also discuss the impact of Obama's presidency, the need for new vocabularies to envision a better future, and the inaccessibility of James Baldwin's archives.
