Du Bois. The collection captures Wright's immense power, which has made him a beacon for writers across decades, from the civil rights era to today. Individual essays examine Wright's art as central to his intellectual life and shed new light on his classic texts-Native Son, Black Boy. Other essays turn to his short fiction, and nonfiction as well as lesser- known work in journalism and poetry, paying particular attention to manuscripts in Wright's archive - unpublished letters and novels, plans for multi-volume works-that allow us to see the depth and expansiveness of his aesthetic and political vision. Exploring how Wright's expatriation to France facilitated a broadening of this vision, contributors challenge the idea that expatriation led to Wright's artistic decline-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Tenderness in early Richard Wright / $r Ernest Julius Mitchell. $t The literary ecology of Native son and Black boy / $r George Hutchinson -- $t Richard Wright's planned incongruity: Black boy as modern living / $r Jay Garcia -- $t Marxism, Communism, and Richard Wright's Depression-era work / $r Nathaniel F.
