Description
Black Boy is Richard Wright's powerful account of his journey from innocence to experience in the Jim Crow South. An enduring story of one young man's coming of age during a particular time and place, Black Boy remains a seminal text in our history about what it means to be a man, Black, and Southern in America. It is at once an unashamed confession and a profound indictment--a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering. --,Provided by publisher.
