Richard Wright Newsletter Richard Wright Newsletter Volume 6, Number 2 Spring/Summer 1998 A Richard Wright Bibliography Supplement by Keneth Kinnamon © KK No portion of this text may be reproduced in any manner without permission from the author. ~ RICHARD WRIGHT BIBLIOGRAPHY: 1989 by Keneth Kinnamon After the banner year of 1988 , the pace of Wright scholarship slowed down in 1989. No books appeared, but a special Wright issue of Mississippi Quarterly contained English translations of two pieces by Wright originally published in French, one a tribute to Faulkner and the other an introduction to the French translation of White Man. Listen!. · Some of the familiar names in Wright studies appear in this issue: Yoshinobu Hakutani, Joyce Ann Joyce, Edward Margolies, Jack B. Moore, Michel Fabre, and Keneth Kinnamon . They are joined by Kathleen Ochshorn with a defens·e of the characterization of women in Native Son, Bruce Dick with a thoroughly researched essay on "Richard Wright and the Blues Connection," and Thomas Cripps on the two film versions of Native Son. The year's work included items that help to illuminate Wright's literary friendships. Bettina Drew's biography and James Giles's critical study of Nelson Algren have much of interest . The Outsider and Camus's The Stranger have often been compared, but Hakutani's essay this year emphasizes their differences. Books on James Baldwin by Horace Porter and W. J. Weatherby join the discussion of Wright's troubled relationship with the younger writer . Noteworthy contributions on the fiction were made by Friederike Hajek (in German) and Tommie L. Jackson on Native Son, Susan Mayberry and Patri cia Watkins on "The Man Who Lived Underground," and Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet on Freudianism in "Big Boy Leaves Home . " Treatments of nonfictional works were provided by Elliott Butler-Evans ("Blueprint for Negro Literature") and Jack Moore (12 Million Black Voices) . 1989 Reprint of 1988.10. 1. Abel, Richard M.

  • Unreading Modernism: Richard Wright's Literary Journalism
    59 Unreading Modernism: Richard Wright’s Literary Journalism William Dow American University of Paris, France Université Paris-Est Richard Wright’s journalism has been largely unexamined by Wright scholars. He has never been studied as a literary journalist nor placed in an African American tradition of journalism or literary journalism. And yet his journalism is infused with qualities that put him firmly in line with other African Americans who are remembered today primarily as writers of fiction, poetry, or plays but who nevertheless wrote liter- ary journalism. Like most of those writers, Wright produced a kind of African American literary journalism that has as its primary objective a change of social policy or order while it also clearly demonstrates new expressive and stylistic forms. This essay focuses on works that best re- veal Wright as a heretofore unrecognized literary journalist: 12 Million Black Voices (1940) and a selection of his exile writings: Black Power: A Record of Reactions in a Land of Pathos, (1954), The Color Cur- tain: A Report on the Bandung Conference (1956), and Pagan Spain (1957). It demonstrates the usefulness of literary journalistic forms to Wright as an African American writer and global humanitarian and also shows how Wright, while advancing his aesthetic aims, repurposed traditional journalism through what I’m calling his “transnational mod- ernism” in order to promote a political solidarity with oppressed people around the world.

  • Jackie Robinson's 1946 Spring Training in Jim Crow Florida
    The Unconquerable Doing the Impossible: Jackie Robinson's 1946 Spring Training in Jim Crow Florida To the student: As you read this accounting of Jackie Robinson's Jim Crow experience, ponder the following: • The role individuals played such as Rachel Robinson, Branch Rickey, Mary McLeod Bethune, Joe Davis and David Brock, Mayor William Perry, Clay Hopper, Johnny Wright, Wendell Smith, and Billy Rowe in shaping Robinson's response to the discrimination heaped upon him? • What factors, internal or external, enabled Jackie Robinson to succeed in his quest to cross baseball's color line? • The influence of ideas, human interests, such as the popularity of baseball and sport in American life, and the American consciousness • The impact of press coverage on human behavior and beliefs • The impact of World War II in reducing regionalism and replacing it with patriotic nationalism, civil rights organizations, enfranchisement and voting leverage, economic need and greed Los Angeles, February, 1946 On the late afternoon of February 28, 1946, Jack Roosevelt Robinson and his new bride, the former Rachel Isum, waited for their American Airlines flight from the Lockheed Terminal at the airport in Los Angeles, destined for Daytona Beach, Florida. Jack's attire was very proper, a gray business suit, while Rachel was splendidly outfitted in her new husband's wedding gifts, a three-quarter length ermine coat with matching hat and an alligator handbag. Although they had originally thought to travel by train, the Robinsons had decided to fly to New Orleans, then to Pensacola, and finally to Daytona Beach. There, Jack was to report by noon on March 1 to the training camp of the Montreal Royals, the top triple-A minor league farm team of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team.
