Richard Wright
African-American writer Richard Wright (1908-1960) was celebrated during the early 1940s for his searing autobiography (Black Boy) and fiction (Native Son). By 1947 he felt so unwelcome in his homeland that he exiled himself and his family in Paris. But his writings changed American culture forever, and today they are mainstays of literature and composition classes. He and his works are also the subjects of numerous critical essays and commentaries by contemporary writers. This volume presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of those essays, books, and articles from 1983 through 2003. Arranged alphabetically by author within years are some 8,320 entries ranging from unpublished dissertations to book-length studies of African American literature and literary criticism. Also included as an appendix are addenda to the author's earlier bibliography covering the years from 1934 through 1982. This is the exhaustive reference for serious students of Richard Wright and his critics.
Richard Wright's Black Boy
One of America's great African-American writers, Richard Wright achieved critical and popular acclaim with the publication of Native Son, a novel, and Black Boy, an autobiography. Blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction, Black Boy vividly depicts Wright's journey from a child growing up in the South during the time of Jim Crow segregation laws through his creative and imaginative development as a writer and intellectual. Black Boy is both a unique autobiography and a racial discourse, chronicling Wright's continual fight against prejudice and racism as well as his quest for self-liberation. Against significant odds, Wright became America's first best-selling black author, and Black Boy became an American classic. Its enduring story documents what it means to be a black man, a southerner, and a writer in the United States. Book jacket.
