We solicit your help in making this issue a successful one.  The editorial board invites papers for possible consideration in this issue on a variety of topics related to the prominent themes in Baldwin's narrative:

spirituality and sexuality

sin and remorse

black masculinity

the politics of gender roles and religion

double consciousness and its various manifestations

body and soul

sacred and the secular

the spirit and the flesh

love and sex

the city and the black church

betrayal, family, and marriage

We will be glad to consider papers on other topics related to Baldwin as well as long as the general premise of the essay considers the new critical approaches to Go Tell It On The Mountain.
