Black Power

Synopsis

Richard Wright's Black Power is an extraordinary nonfiction work by one America's premier literary giants of the twentieth century. An impassioned chronicle of the author's trip to Africa's Gold Coast before it became the free nation of Ghana, it speaks eloquently of empowerment and possibility and resonates loudly to this day.  Also included in this omnibus edition are two nonfiction works Wright produced around the time of Black Power. White Man Listen! is a stirring collection of his essays on race, politics, and other essential social concerns. The Color Curtain is an indispensable work urging the removal of the color barrier. It remains one of the key commentaries on the question race in the modern era.
