Black Boy Paperback - 2008
by Richard Wright; Foreword by John Edgar Wideman; Afterword by Malcolm Wright
Celebrating the centennial of Wright's birth, each deluxe classic is a special edition with French flaps, rough fronts, and covers printed on uncoated stock.
From the rear cover
Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot.
Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment--a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering.
