At the end of his life, the young man from Mississippi had become a well-traveled intellectual deeply interested in the social and political as well as literary and racial issues of the Old, the New, and the Third World. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eConversations with Richard Wright\u003c\/i\u003e collects some fifty interviews, many of which are little known in the United States because they appeared in non-English European periodicals and newspapers. This collection reveals a serious, often didactic Wright, giving voice to his inarticulate brothers and sisters as he reveals his racially representative colonialism. Most of his interviewers were white men, and he was always trying to make them listen. European issues also claimed his attention as he struggled to reconcile Marxism, Freudianism, and existentialism to the political realities from 1945 to his death in 1960.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keneth Kinnamon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878056335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878056330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.04w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1993 pg. 1937","brand":"Keneth Kinnamon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947437326591,"sku":"9780878056330","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bd618730-929c-4b3a-8a09-913812feaa58.jpg?v=1681518721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-richard-wright-keneth-kinnamon-9780878056330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
