Richard Wright was the first major Negro writer in American literature to reach a mass audience - with his best sellers, "Black Boy" and "Native Son" - and the first to confront that audience with what it really means to be black.

McCall undertakes an intensive close analysis of Richard Wright's major and most representative achievements, a historical study of Wright's positron as a left-wing polemicist and Black spokesman ("Black Power" is Wright's phrase), and an appraisal of Wrights influence on subsequent black writers and of the continuing importance of his work.
