Richard
Wright's
memoir
of
his
childhood
as
a
young
black
boy
in
the
American
south
of
the
1920s
and
30s
is
a
stark
depiction
of
African-American
life
and
a
powerful
exploration
of
racial
tension.‘A
compelling
indictment
of
life
in
the
Deep
South
between
the
wars’
Daily
TelegraphAt
four
years
old,
Richard
Wright
set
fire
to
his
home
in
a
moment
of
boredom;
at
five
his
father
deserted
the
family;
by
six
Richard
was
-
temporarily
-
an
alcoholic.
It
was
in
saloons,
railroad
yards
and
streets
that
he
learned
the
facts
about
life,
about
fear,
hunger
and
hatred,
while
his
mother's
long
illness
taught
him
about
suffering.
In
a
world
of
white
hostility
and
subjugation
it
would
be
his
love
of
books
and
pursuit
of
knowledge
that
would
propel
him
to
follow
his
dream
of
justice
and
opportunity
in
the
north.A
chronicle
of
coming
of
age
under
the
racial
prejudices
of
the
American
south,
as
much
the
story
of
a
writer
finding
his
voice,
Black
Boy
remains
one
of
the
great,
impassioned
memoirs
of
the
twentieth century.
