A symposium of American, French and German Baldwin scholars was to reevaluate the reception of the works of James Baldwin in the United States as well as in Europe. Michel Fabre reports on Baldwin's Paris - "the city which saved his life". - The reception of Baldwin in Germany is described by Peter Freese and Friederike Hajek - Helene Christol deals with Baldwin and the American legend of masculinity - James Horton places Baldwin in the black American tradition whereas Robert Marquez indulges in the memories of a Salsa-born son - Maria Dietrich finally weighs the obituaries for a black Ishmael.
