11 de sept. de 2015 · “The Devil Finds Work” series borrows its title from Baldwin’s brilliant book-length 1976 essay, which blends a candid autobiographical articulation of his cinephilia with a frank critique of the fraught intersection between Hollywood’s industrial practices and its limiting representational approaches.
In “The Devil Finds Work,” James Baldwin explores the power of language and dialogue in shaping our understanding of the world around us. He argues that the way we use language can either reinforce or challenge existing power structures, and that dialogue is essential for creating meaningful change.
