ABSTRACT

This paper uses two teaching experiences with Baldwin's 1962 novel Another Country to frame a discussion of the complicated critical history of this literary work and its relation to Baldwin's literary reputation. The contested relationship between the categories of race and sexuality in the novel is tracked and its political implications explored.
