James Baldwin Review is proud to announce the publication of its seventh volume. James Baldwin Review (JBR) is an annual journal that brings together a wide array of peer‐reviewed critical essays and creative non-fiction on the life, writings, and legacy of James Baldwin. Extending discussion of Baldwin’s writing and its impacts beyond academia is one of the core aims of JBR. Towards this end, the journal is published online, available for free, in an open access partnership between The New School, Manchester University Press, and the University of Manchester Library. Print copies are also available for purchase. JBR contains a mix of formal and informal tones, of experienced writers and new voices. These essays are accompanied by an award-winning graduate student essay, journalistic and autobiographical reflections, and a review of significant scholarly works on Baldwin. Our seventh volume includes a feature essay by Ed Pavlić, an interview with James Campbell, creative pieces by Aleksander Motturi and Maureen Kelleher, and our first guest-edited section—on Baldwin and Film—curated by Robert Jackson. Our cover comes from a recently installed mural exhibit in the NYC subway system, designed by Rico Gatson.
