Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with
poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at
those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about
taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was
surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to
him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented
anyone trying to rise above the common lot.
Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey
from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. It is at once
an unashamed confession and a profound indictment--a poignant and
disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.
