This book 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.-- $c Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Wright, Richard, $d 1908-1960 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Wright, Richard, $d 1908-1960 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 650 0 $a Black people in literature. 650 0 $a African Americans in literature. 700 1 $a Craven, Alice Mikal, $e editor. 700 1 $a Dow, William $q (William E.), $e editor. 700 1 $a Nakamura, Yoko, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214053223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A39215872D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
