Autobiography of Alfred James Martin
Alfred James Martin (1911-1993) was born at Woodstock, Cape, South Africa, the son of Samuel Martin (1875-1948) and Clara Ann Ashford Martin. His parents had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before his birth. His family immigrated to the United States in 1916 and settled at Ogden, Utah. The family returned to South Africa, 1926-1929, while his father served as mission president for the Church. Jim served a mission to France and the French speaking parts of Belguim and Switzerland, 1929-1931. He married Helen Krumperman in 1933 in the Salt Lake Temple. They had three children, 1935-1941. The family lived in San Francisco, Oakland and Glendale, California; Short Hills, New Jersey and Boise, Idaho. Always active in the Church, Jim served as President to the French East Mission, 1964-1967; a Regional Representative in Europe, 1979-1981. At the time of his death, he was a stake patriarch and a sealer in the Boise Temple. He is buried in the Cloverdale Cemetery, Boise, Idaho.
Beauty and Holiness
In this broad historical and critical overview based on a lifetime of scholarship, James Alfred Martin, Jr., examines the development of the concepts of beauty and holiness as employed in theories of aesthetics and of religion. The injunction in the Book of Psalms to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness" addressed a tradition that has comprehended holiness primarily in terms of ethical righteousness--a conception that has strongly influenced Western understandings of religion.

The Generic Closet
Even after a rise in gay and Black representation and production on TV in the 1990s, the sitcom became a "generic closet," restricting Black gay characters with narrative tropes. Drawing from 20 interviews with credited episode writers, key show-runners, and Black gay men, The Generic Closet situates Black-cast sitcoms as a unique genre that uses Black gay characters in service of the series' heterosexual main cast. Alfred L. Martin, Jr., argues that the Black community is considered to be antigay due to misrepresentation by shows that aired during the family viewing hour and that were written for the imagined, "traditional" Black family. Martin considers audience reception, industrial production practices, and authorship to unpack the claim that Black gay characters are written into Black-cast sitcoms such as Moesha, Good News, and Let's Stay Together in order to closet Black gayness. By exploring how systems of power produce ideologies about Black gayness, The Generic Closet deconstructs the concept of a monolithic Black audience and investigates whether this generic closet still exists.
