| Abstract
|
:
|
Black Boy is a firsthand account of what it was like to come of age in the Jim Crow South. Richard Wright's story is an emotional journey through violence, abandonment, neglect, and hunger, as well as blatant racial discrimination. Richard Wright's Black Boy details the themes and history of this seminal American classic with thought-provoking critical essays, a comprehensive chronology of Wright's life and times, and an easy-to-follow index.
