"If one had to identify the single most influential shaping force in modern Black literary history, one would probably have to point to Wright and the publication of Native Son." - Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic.
Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Richard Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America.
This edition--the restored text of Native Son established by the Library of America--also includes an essay by Wright titled, How "Bigger" was Born, along with notes on the text.

Описание: At four years of age, Richard Wright set fire to his home; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. It was in saloons, railroad yards and streets that he learned the facts about life under white subjection, about fear, hunger and hatred. Gradually he learned to play Jim Crow in order to survive.

Описание: 12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, combines Wright's prose with startling photographs selected by Edwin Rosskam from the Security Farm Administration files compiled during the Great Depression. The photographs include works by such giants as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. From crowded, rundown farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches, the photos depict the lives of black people in 1930s America--their misery and weariness under rural poverty, their spiritual strength, and their lives in northern ghettos. Wright's accompanying text eloquently narrates the story of these 90 pictures and delivers a powerful commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in this country. Also included are new prefaces by Douglas Brinkley, Noel Ignatiev, and Michael Eric Dyson. Among all the works of Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, ... passion, ... and of love.--David Bradley A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised.--The New York Times Book Review

Описание:
A spiritual retreat contains two seemingly contradictory elements: withdrawal and immersion. On the one hand a retreatant is freed from everyday concerns and can stroll about, smell the flowers, admire the trees, and relax under an open sky. On the other hand, it is also a journey inward with no escape. All those masks used as a matter of course begin to dissolve, personal ego thrashes about for survival, and a sometimes-painful examination of self weaves together events both past and present into complex patterns and, if one is fortunate, unfolds into a new view of reality. At times such a retreat can be a messy process, like blazing a trail toward an uncertain destination, but as one clears away inessentials, the nature of the path becomes increasingly clear. Although this book is framed around a specific five-day retreat offered a generation ago as part of a specific spiritual tradition, the steps it follows and the insights discovered by the participant are complementary with those of spiritual retreats within all traditions. The Sufi Order, which sponsored this retreat, is one of a galaxy of groups, or schools, that welcomes people from a wide variety of traditions and that honors the spiritual essence at the heart of all religions.

Описание: Richard Wright analyzes the current state of the criminal justice system in tandem with the experiences of survivors in the aftermath of a violent crime, addressing the lack of cohesion between the current policies and the needs of victims, despite race, age, gender, economic status, occupation, or sexual orientation.
Author Richard F. Wright shatters the secrecy that has prevailed since 2013 surrounding the sudden and humiliating resignation of State Representative John Fresolo, a popular eight-term legislator who had just won reelection running unopposed in his district. As a result of a two-year investigation, which included hundreds of hours of face to face interviews with those who were there, Wright reports that the evidence used in the ethics committee hearings was false, distorted, and unreliable. Witnesses were proven to be lying under oath. When the state's case was collapsing after three exhaustive days of hearings, House Leadership maneuvered the committee members to blindside Fresolo with materials, unrelated to any of the standing 13 allegations under investigation, not taken under oath or during the hearings, to blackmail Fresolo into resigning.
What started with a young, naive statehouse staffer seeking an easy way to get a transfer and promotion turned into a witch hunt fueled by false accusations, false testimony, confused and contradictory evidence and a sham process of investigation that denied the accused the right to challenge evidence or cross-examine witnesses. Amid a swirl of sexually charged headlines, the complainant went from her happiest day as a newlywed to accepting a dreaded "Speaker Special" job and eventually leaving the statehouse permanently, while Fresolo went from an unopposed election victory for an eighth term to a humiliating resignation under circumstances that were kept a secret, until now.
Wright has spent 40 years as a paid consultant providing campaign management, public relations, and political polling to candidates throughout Massachusetts for offices including school committee, city council, sheriff, clerk of courts, register of probate, county commissioner, state representative, state senator, mayor, congressman, governor's council, and governor.

Описание:
A special 75th anniversary edition of Richard Wright's powerful and unforgettable memoir, with a new foreword by John Edgar Wideman and an afterword by Malcolm Wright, the author's grandson.
When it exploded onto the literary scene in 1945, Black Boy was both praised and condemned. Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that "if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy." Yet from 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for "obscenity" and "instigating hatred between the races."
Wright's once controversial, now celebrated autobiography measures the raw brutality of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as a black boy. Enduring poverty, hunger, fear, abuse, and hatred while growing up in the woods of Mississippi, Wright lied, stole, and raged at those around him--whites indifferent, pitying, or cruel and blacks resentful of anyone trying to rise above their circumstances. Desperate for a different way of life, he may his way north, eventually arriving in Chicago, where he forged a new path and began his career as a writer. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to "hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo." Seventy-five year later, his words continue to reverberate. "To read Black Boy is to stare into the heart of darkness," John Edgar Wideman writes in his foreword. "Not the dark heart Conrad searched for in Congo jungles but the beating heart I bear."
One of the great American memoirs, Wright's account is a poignant record of struggle and endurance--a seminal literary work that illuminates our own time.
