Download or read book Richard Wright s Native Son written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coinciding with the preparations for the celebration in 2008 of Richard Wright’s 100th birthday, this new collection of critical essays on Native Son attests to the importance and endurance of Wright’s controversial work. The eleven essays collected in this volume engage the objective of Rodopi’s Dialogue Series by creating multidirectional conversations in which senior and younger scholars interact with each other and with previous scholars who have weighed in on the novel’s import. Speaking from distant corners of the world, the contributors to this book reflect an international interest in Wright’s unique combination of literary strategies and social aims. The wide range of approaches to Native Son is presented in five thematic sections. The first three sections cover aspects such as the historical reception of Wright’s novel, the inscription of sex and gender both in Native Son and in other African American texts, and the influence of Africa and of vortical symbolism on Wright’s aesthetics; following is the study of the novel from the point of view of its adoption and transformation of various literary genres—the African American jeremiad, the protest novel, the crime novel and courtroom drama, the Bildungsroman, and the Biblical modes of narration. The closing section analyzes the novel’s lasting influence through its adaptation to other artistic fields, such as the cinema and song in the form of hip-hop. The present volume may, therefore, be of interest for students who are not very familiar with Wright’s classic text as well as for scholars and Richard Wright specialists.

Download or read book Completing the Speech Act written by Eric Adam Perez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 20th century America in which Richard Wright's Native Son is set, essentialist notions of race gave the white ruling class a false justification for the suppression of the African American people. There existed within the white Anglo ruling class a deafness and blindness to the autonomy of the powerless ethnic lower classes. The few individuals who would exhibit signs of aspirations for autonomy and power would often go unheard or be crushed back into to the margins of society. I will argue that in Native Son, Spivak's idea of the subaltern in a post-colonial setting can be applied to Bigger Thomas's inability to be perceived as a discrete human being by not only the Anglo Americans who endeavored to persecute him but also those who believed that they had his best interests in mind when trying to speak to the meaning behind his actions. Bigger Thomas expresses his contempt for the powerlessness that the Anglo ruling class forces upon him and, because of that vulnerability, often attempts to project the illusion of dominance and power within his own world by performing violence upon fellow African Americans. As a subculture that has grown within an Anglo dominated nation, various writers claim that an African American culture, mostly divorced from their African roots, has developed under perpetual suppression. It is through the unplanned murder of white heiress, Mary Dalton that Bigger discovers that it is indeed possible for him, a powerless and voiceless being within the subaltern African American community, to affect white society in a significant way with his actions. It is from this realization that he believes that he can have his identity recognized by the dominant culture, and endeavors to not only impose his speech act upon the white community, but also endeavors to be heard within the Anglo dominated culture as a discrete human being.
