Richard Wright is widely recognized as one of the most important African-American writers and as a significant 20th-century author. With the publication of Native Son in 1940, Wright established his enduring reputation as a man of letters. With the immense critical success of Native Son, Wright went on to author Black Boy, The Outsider, and Eight Men. His writings reflect his experiences growing up in the poverty and racial strife of the South, and his thoughts on major social issues.This volume traces the critical reception of Wright's major works, from the publication of Native Son to the present day. An introductory chapter overviews the critical response to his writings, while two biographical chapters discuss his writings in relation to his life. Sections are then devoted to Native Son, Black Boy, and The Outsider. Each of these sections presents reviews and articles reflecting the best criticism of Wright's works. A final section, Richard Wright Today, offers contemporary assessments of Wright's reputation, as well as fascinating discussions of the recent Library of America editions of his works.

Ralph Ellison's literary career began in 1937 with the publication of his review of Waters Edward Turpin's These Low Grounds. Over the next 15 years he published 10 short stories and 37 essays on literary, cultural, and political topics. But when Invisible Man was published in 1952, Ellison received immediate acclaim from a wide variety of critics, scholars, and novelists. While his novel emerged as a major work of African American literature, it also engaged the European literary tradition and influenced an entire generation of post-World War II writers. Ellison is now one of the most studied African American writers, and the posthumous publication of his second novel, Juneteenth, in 1999 has drawn even more attention to his contribution.Through previously published reviews and essays, and original material, this book charts the response to Ellison's writings. While the bulk of the volume focuses on Invisible Man, the book also includes sections devoted to Ellison's short fiction and nonfiction, as well as posthumous estimates of his work. A chronology highlights the most important events in his life and career, while an introductory essay overviews the broad trends in Ellison scholarship. The volume concludes with a selected bibliography of primary and secondary works.

Voodoo Moon: A Teddy Searle Adventure

Six-foot CharMane lays on the Voodoo, a stick pokes out an eye, a dead man brings in the Kennedy men, an outhouse secret stops a mob-and those are just the easy parts of Teddy Searle's life. Things really get interesting when he robs his Daddy to trick Swede and Jeff into...Oh, that's telling too much. This Teddy Searle Adventure begins in mid-1950s Arkansas. You meet his Mama, his Daddy, his Uncle Chas, and God-help-us, his Aunt Gail. They comprise a tight family, and all-for-one sort of bunch, except the "one" always seems to be Teddy, with his penchant for getting himself, and the rest of them, in hot, hot water. In spite of himself, Teddy is a lucky bar of wet soap. Surrounded, trapped, or chased, he squirts out of menacing moments at the last second-most of the time, that is. Sometimes he gets help from the most secret of sources; then sometimes he gets help from those darn pigs. Oh, the pigs? You will fall in love with them, just as you will with Louisa, who beats up on Cigarette, to save Teddy, who then gets cross-ways with the villains in the barn, who then...Oh, again, that's telling too much. Teddy tells you his own story, in his own words, stepping outside himself once in a while to share with you his private thoughts. He's funny, charming, goofy, unnerving, frightened, and maybe brilliant. Uncle Chas thinks Teddy is the smartest person he's ever known, though Aunt Gail would certainly give you a second opinion. In "Voodoo Moon", you'll get a sense of where Teddy is going in life-and why. By the way, if you do get a sense where Teddy is going in life, Teddy would appreciate a note from you with your thoughts. He has no idea, which is part of the fun for you and a big part of his own substantial angst. Teddy, after all, is a mystery to himself.

North Carolina Civil War Monuments

North Carolina Civil War Monuments

Douglas J. Butler

McFarland Co Inc

Monuments honoring leaders and victorious armies have been raised throughout history. Following the American Civil War, however, this tradition expanded, and by the early twentieth century, the Confederate dead and surviving veterans, although defeated in battle, ranked among the world's most commemorated troops. This memorialization, described in North Carolina Civil War Monuments, evolved through a challenging and contentious process accomplished over decades. Prompted by the need to rebury wartime dead, memorialization, led by women, first expressed regional grief and mourning then expanded into a vital aspect of Southern memory. In North Carolina, 109 Civil War monuments--101 honoring Confederate troops and eight commemorating Union forces--were raised prior to the Civil War centennial. Photographs showcase each memorial while committee records, legal documents, and contemporaneous accounts are used to detail the difficult process through which these monuments were erected. Their design, location, and funding reflect not only the period's sculptural and cultural milieu but also reveal one state's evolving grief and the forging of public memory.
