Abstract

James Baldwin [3] and Richard Wright [4] had before them similar points and goals. Yet, there were contrasts in their perspectives and approaches. The component of heterosexuality isn't at all there in crafted by Richard Wright. In any case, Baldwin's men are once in a while hetero. Virility involves no spot in Baldwin. Pundits are of the feeling that homosexuality gave Baldwin's work a unique structure. Not at all like Richard Wright, Baldwin is by all accounts a hater of masculinity and virility. We likewise find in his work the advancement of the racial issue of America. In his books and his short stories, Baldwin endeavors to discover an answer for the racial issue which torments America. Interestingly, in his work, the human issue involves the prime spot. The racial issue comes in runner up. Baldwin is most importantly an American. He generally talks like a prophet. There are inconsistencies in him, however they are just of 'appearing' nature.
