Item description from seller

202 pages with index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's beige cloth with brown lettering to spine with publisher's two dust jackets With the business card of William B Goldman laid in with his Goldman's signature. First edition. Richard Wright was the first major Negro writer in American literature to reach a mass audience - with his best sellers, "Black Boy" and "Native Son" - and the first to confront that audience with what it really means to be black. In this work, Dan McCall discusses Wright's work in terms of its relevant literary, moral and political contexts. McCall undertakes an intensive close analysis of Richard Wright's major and most representative achievements, a historical study of Wright's positron as a left-wing polemicist and Black spokesman ("Black Power" is Wright's phrase), and an appraisal of Wrights influence on subsequent black writers and of the continuing importance of his work. Condition: A very good to fine copy in near fine jackets.
