Originally published in 1954, Richard Wright's "Black Power" is an
extraordinary nonfiction work by one of America's premier literary
giants of the twentieth century. An impassioned chronicle of the
author's trip to Africa's Gold Coast before it became the free
nation of Ghana, it speaks eloquently of empowerment and
possibility, and resonates loudly to this day.
Also included in this omnibus edition are two nonfiction works
Wright produced around the time of "Black Power," "White Man,
Listen!" is a stirring collection of his essays on race, politics,
and other essential social concerns ("Deserves to be read with
utmost seriousness"--"New York Times"). The Color Curtain is an
indispensable work urging the removal of the color barrier. It
remains one of the key commentaries on the question of race in the
modern era. ("Truth-telling will perhaps always be unpopular and
suspect, but in "The Color Curtain," as in all his later
nonfiction, Wright did not hesitate to tell the truth as he saw
it."--Amritjit Singh, Ohio University)
