This episode focuses on James Baldwin's 1974 novel If Beale Street Could Talk and the 2018 film adaptation by Barry Jenkins.

We also touch upon the following books: Rainbow Milk (2020) by Paul Mendez, Everything Counts (from the collection No Sweetness Here 1969) by Ama Ata Aidoo.

And these films: Good Hair (dir. Jeff Stilson 2009), 13th (dir. Ava DuVernay 2016).

We also recommend Giovanni's Room (1956) and Another Country (1962) by James Baldwin, the amazing new biography James Baldwin: Living In Fire by Bill V. Mullen and the documentary film I Am Not Your Negro (dir. Raoul Peck 2016) based on Baldwin's unfinished project Remember This House.

We'd also love to hear any suggestions you might have.
