Richard Wright is one of the most important African American
writers. He is also one of the most prolific. Best known as the
author of Native Son, he wrote 7 novels; 2 collections of short
fiction; an autobiography; more than 250 newspaper articles, book
reviews, and occasional essays; some 4,000 verses; a
photo-documentary; and 3 travel books. By attacking the taboos and
hypocrisy that other writers had failed to address, he
revolutionized American literature and created a disturbing and
realistic portrait of the African American experience. This
encyclopedia is a guide to his vast and influential body of works.
Included are more than 350 alphabetically arranged entries, such
as: Beale Street Belgium Black Boy Chicago Renaissance Civil Rights
Movement Ralph Waldo Ellison Sigmund Freud Harlem Martin Luther
King, Jr. Marxism Native Son Edgar Allan Poe Segregation
Sharecropping And many more. Entries cite works for further
reading, and the encyclopedia closes with an extensive
bibliography. Literature students will value this work for its
thorough overview of Wright's canon, while students in history and
social studies classes will welcome it as a means of understanding
the African American struggle for civil rights through literature.
