Race is here assumed as a superimposed category, rather than a biological reality, in keeping with recent trends in African-American studies. Wright's fiction and almost all of his non-fiction lift beyond the mainstays of African-American culture to explore the potentialities and limits of black trans-nationalism. Wright's trans-native status, his perpetual \"outsidedness\" mixed with the \"essential humanness\" of his activist and literary efforts are at the core of the innovative approaches to his work included here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dow, William\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623562311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"William Dow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32749591887947,"sku":"9781623562311","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_ba280ae3-ab7b-44d2-add5-1b9b224707ce.jpg?v=1597791863","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/richard-wright-in-a-post-racial-imaginary-9781623562311","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
