Description
1940 NATIVE SON 1ed Richard Wright CIVIL RIGHTS Segregation Racism Black History



“Native Son” by Richard Nathaniel Wright is a poignant exploration of racial dynamics in mid-20th century America. The novel delves into the life of Bigger Thomas, a young African American living in the impoverished South Side of Chicago during the 1930s. Through Thomass experiences and challenges, Wright sheds light on the forces that shape the destinies of black individuals like him. The narrative does not justify Thomass actions, rather it aimed to highlight the societal constraints and prejudices that frequently brought him harm. Wrights compelling storytelling offered a commentary on race relations while also underscoring the deep-rooted societal issues that perpetuated racial disparities in America throughout the first half of the 20th century.
