Book Synopsis The Politics of Richard Wright by : Jane Anna Gordon
Book excerpt: Offers a collection of essays embracing the controversies surrounding Wright as a public intellectual and author. Several contributors explore how the writer mixed fact and fiction to capture the empirical and emotional reality of living as a Black person in a racist world. Others examine the role of gender in Wright's canonical and lesser-known writing and the implications of Black male vulnerability. They also discuss the topics of Black subjectivity, internationalism and diaspora, and the legacy of and responses to slavery in America. --Adapted from publisher description.
