A master chronicler of the African-American experience, Richard
Wright brilliantly expanded his literary horizons with "Pagan
Spain," originally published in 1957. The Spain he visited in the
mid-twentieth century was not the romantic locale of song and
story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions.
The portrait he offers is a blistering, powerful, yet scrupulously
honest depiction of a land and people in turmoil, caught in the
strangling dual grip of cruel dictatorship and what Wright saw as
an undercurrent of primitive faith. An amalgam of expert travel
reportage, dramatic monologue, and arresting sociological critique,
"Pagan Spain" serves as a pointed and still-relevant commentary on
the grave human dangers of oppression and governmental
corruption.
