【正确答案】正确答案：Just as Black activists were pushing to end segregation and racism and create a new sense of Black nationalism since 1940s, so too were Black authors attempting to address these issues with their writings. One of the first writers to do so was James Baldwin, whose work addressed issues of race and sexuality. Baldwin, who is best known for his novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, wrote deeply personal stories and essays while examining what it was like to be both Black and homosexual at a time when neither of these identities was accepted by American culture. In all, Baldwin wrote nearly 20 books, including such classics as Another Country and The Fire Next Time. Another writer of the kind in the contemporary age is Alice Walker. She has written at length on issues of race and gender, and is most famous for the critically acclaimed novel The Color Purple for which she won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It is a novel about the story of a young black woman fighting her way through not only racist white culture but patriarchal black culture.
