Ralph Ellison: Invisible Man, Celebrated Writer | Black History Documentary (2020x44)

Data di messa in onda: Apr 07, 2020

In writing INVISIBLE MAN in the late 1940s, Ralph Ellison brought onto the scene a new kind of black protagonist, one at odds with the characters of the leading black novelist at the time, Richard Wright. If Wright’s characters were angry, uneducated, and inarticulate — the consequences of a society that oppressed them — Ellison’s Invisible Man was educated, articulate, and self-aware.
