- Title
Empathizing with James Baldwin in I Am Not Your Negro.
- Authors
Heiser, Emily
- Abstract
Raoul Peck's film I Am Not Your Negro is based on a book that James Baldwin never got the chance to finish before his death in 1987. Subsequent to the release of I Am Not Your Negro in 2017, multiple critics claimed to experience a connection to or understanding of Baldwin after watching the film, even though he did not actively participate in its creation. This article aims to explain this reception through the examination of the psychological process of projection and the evocation of empathy through art.
