Description
The author "discusses Wright's work in terms of its relevant literary, moral, and political contexts. Mr. McCall undertakes an intensive close analysis of Richard Wright's major and most representative achievements, a historical study of Wright's position as a left-wing polemicist and Black Spokesman ('Black Power' is Wrights phrase), and an appraisal of Wright's influence on subsequent black writers and of the continuing importance of his work.
