 note = {This article explores how James Baldwin’s second novel Giovanni’s Room represents Italian ethnicity in association with racial blackness and dramatizes the complex intersection of race and ethnicity in the transatlantic context. Baldwin’s frequent portrayal of major white characters with Italian heritage supposedly stems from the fact that he was raised in ethnically diverse Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s where African Americans and Italian immigrants lived in the same blocks, and were constantly at conflict over housing, jobs, and politics. Few critics have pointed out that African-American writers preceding Baldwin were keenly aware of the intense and intimate relationship between these two groups and attempted to articulate the racial in-betweenness of Italian immigrants in their works. Baldwin followed the African-American literary practice of representing Italian ethnicity and developed his imagination by authoring a story of a passionate but failed love affair between a white American man and an Italian man living in Paris. This article contends that Giovanni’s Room reveals Baldwin’s insight into the nature of the white male identity constructed by rejecting the racial and ethnic other.},
