Love as a central topic in Baldwin''s Another Country has been analysed by several critics and even Baldwin admits candidly that the novel shows ''the desperate searches'' of its characters ''for the self- knowledge and self-esteem - the identity - without which real love is impossible.'' But how do these themes work in the novel, what does such a love have to look like and what does it have to include for the individual to be ''able to learn to see real human beings behind the categories, labels, and prejudices'' which are imposed by the loveless in a society.
