These words are evidenced by Wright¹s own career as a successful black writer emerging during a period of racial oppression and economic hardship. Born September 4, 1908 on a plantation in Roxie, Mississippi, Wright came into a family embedded in the Southern tradition. His grandfather had been a slave, and his father was an illiterate sharecropper and mill worker. At the age of six, Wright¹s father abandoned the family, leaving Wright and his younger brother by two years, Leon, under the sole care of his mother Ella who was a schoolteacher at the time. Moving to Memphis, Tennessee, where Ella took a job as a cook, Wright and his family lived in extreme poverty. His mother felt it necessary to move from community to community; Wright thus attended school sporadically. In the meantime, he also stayed at the homes of various relatives in Arkansas and Mississippi, working various small part-time jobs. With his meager earnings, he managed to buy magazines, dime novels, old schoolbooks ­ despite his lack of formal education, Wright read voraciously. In 1935, Wright completed his first novel, Cesspool (published post-posthumously under the title Lawd Today). He also began to publish other works of poetry and short stories. Wright moved to Harlem, New York, in 1937 where he kept himself busy writing articles for various journals and publication as well as his first published book, Uncle Tom¹s Children. The novel was finished in 1938 and consisted of a collection of novellas about racial oppression in the South. After being awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, Wright moved to Brooklyn where he was able to finish what is considered one of the most defining works of his career: Native Son.

After a period of time scrounging for contract work, this is my rather tongue-in-cheek response to contractor life. My wife puts it best, "The term 'contractor' is a nice way of saying 'unemployed', but can still pay bills... occasionally even on time". What's New? March 2004 - Whoaaa! This site is nasty old and stinky! Coming soon, the newly remodeled home of the OpenGL SuperBible, 3rd Edition! What's new for the 3rd Edition? Shaders, expanded support of OpenGL 1.5/2.0, Linux and Mac OS X coverage, and more... stay tuned. October 31, 2000 - Get my souped up Stonehenge demo .

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors Richard Wright (1908-1960) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: Richard Wright (1908-1960) Index Richard Wright was born into a poor Mississippi sharecropping family that his father deserted when the boy was five. Wright was the first African-American novelist to reach a general audience, even though he had barely a ninth grade education. His harsh childhood is depicted in one of his best books, his autobiography, Black Boy (1945). He later said that his sense of deprivation, due to racism, was so great that only reading kept him alive. The social criticism and realism of Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser , and Sinclair Lewis especially inspired Wright. During the 1930s, he joined the Communist party; in the 1940s, he moved to France, where he knew Gertrude Stein and Jean-Paul Sartre and became an anti-Communist. His outspoken writing blazed a path for subsequent African-American novelists. His work includes Uncle Tom's Children (1938), a book of short stories, and the powerful and relentless novel

Wright, Richard Wright, 1957 (b. Sept. 4, 1908, near Natchez, Miss., U.S.d. Nov. 28, 1960, Paris, France), novelist and short-story writer, who was among the first black American writers to protest white treatment of blacks, notably in his novel Native Son (1940) and his autobiography, Black Boy (1945). He inaugurated the tradition of protest explored by other black writers after World War II. Wright's grandparents had been slaves. His father left home when he was five, and the boy, who grew up in poverty, was often shifted from one relative to another. He worked at a number of jobs before joining the northward migration, first to Memphis, Tenn., and then to Chicago. There, after working in unskilled jobs, he got an opportunity to write through the Federal Writers' Project. In 1932 he became a member of the Communist Party, and in 1937 he went to New York City, where he became Harlem editor of the Communist Daily Worker He first came to the general public's attention with a volume of novellas, Uncle Tom's Children (1938), based on the question: How may a black man live in a country that denies his humanity? In each story but one the hero's quest ends in death.

54. SLOWRIOT DOT ORG | RICHARD WRIGHT Focuses on richard wright's communism and revolutionary poetry. http://www.slowriot.org/wright

Welcome to "The Spectacle of Glory", a website examining Richard Wright and his connection to communism. Wright was perhaps the most prominent black writer in America during the first half of the twentieth century: born in 1908, he was the author of bestsellers such as Native Son and Black Boy . He was also a member of the Communist Party for over a decade, and led a chequered life that saw him migrate from the South to Chicago, then on to New York and finally to France, where he died in 1960. His turbulent life is documented briefly here Living in Chicago during the Great Depression of the 1930s, Wright joined the Communist Party, and his early poetry was imbued with revolutionary rhetoric. Wright's communism has been the subject of great conjecture, some good analysis, and a considerable amount of misunderstanding. My MA thesis on the topic aims to clarify his motivations and the context of his communism, and is available for download on this site.
