"The Key is Love: A Conversation with Nikki Giovanni and If Beale Street Could Tal

Abstract

The paper focuses on James Baldwin's theology of love, a theology that goes beyond the Christianity of his early years. His works particularly A Dialogue (1972) and If Beale Street Could Talk (1974) and The Fire Next Time (1963) take up a feminist and post-colonial, de-colonial approach rooted in a profound spiritual responsibility, namely love.
