First Edition of James Baldwin's The Devil Finds Work
First edition of Baldwin's book-length essay on race in American movies. Octavo, original half cloth, top stain red, faint stamp to the half-title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jack Ribik. Author photograph by Jerry Bauer.
Baldwin's personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also a probing appraisal of American racial politics. Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist.
