A Book Review: Native Son by Richard Wright
Acclaimed cultural historian Irvin Howe wrote, “When Native Son appeared, American culture was changed forever. It made impossible a repetition of the old lies and brought out into the open, as no one ever had before, the hatred, fear, and violence that have crippled and may yet destroy our culture.” Native Son was published in 1940, and in 2009 we have an African-American president. As we delve into this story of a young African-American from the Chicago ghetto, Bigger Thomas, whose violent story horrifies and intrigues us, we discuss whether or not there are Bigger Thomases in 2009, or if we are beyond his story of fear, flight, and fate. (Reading directions are mailed to you upon registration.)
