Richard Wright was one of the most influential and complex African
American writers of the twentieth century. Best known as the
trailblazing, bestselling author of Native Son and Black Boy, he
established himself as an experimental literary intellectual in
France who creatively drew on some of the leading ideas of his time
- Marxism, existentialism, psychoanalysis, and postcolonialism - to
explore the sources and meaning of racism both in the United States
and worldwide. Richard Wright in Context gathers thirty-three new
essays by leading scholars relating Wright's writings to
biographical, regional, social, literary, and intellectual contexts
essential to understanding them. It explores the places that shaped
his life and enabled his literary destiny, the social and cultural
contexts he both observed and immersed himself in, and the literary
and intellectual contexts that made him one the most famous Black
writers in the world at mid-century.
