In African American fiction, Richard Wright was one of the most
significant and influential authors of the twentieth century.
"Richard Wright in a Post-Racial America" analyses Wright's work in
relation to contemporary racial and social issues, bringing voices
of established and emergent Wright scholars into dialogue with each
other. The essays in this volume show how Wright's best work asks
central questions about national alienation as well as about
international belonging and the trans-national gaze. Race is here
assumed as a superimposed category, rather than a biological
reality, in keeping with recent trends in African-American studies.
Wright's fiction and almost all of his non-fiction lift beyond the
mainstays of African-American culture to explore the potentialities
and limits of black trans-nationalism. Wright's trans-native
status, his perpetual "outsidedness" mixed with the "essential
humanness" of his activist and literary efforts are at the core of
the innovative approaches to his work included here.
