- Literary Criticism, Nonfiction, Criticism and interpretation, Wright, richard, 1908-1960
Not often is a black man the protagonist in American literature, but in Native Son, there is fiery, dramatic conflict in the story of Bigger Thomas, the man who wages a war between himself and the outside white world. Wright has given us a dramatic and impassioned look at life in the oppressed Black America.
