{"product_id":"9781501312694","title":"Richard Wright in a Post-Racial Imaginary","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn African American fiction, Richard Wright was one of the most significant and influential authors of the twentieth century. Richard Wright in a Post-Racial Imaginary analyses Wright's work in relation to contemporary racial and social issues, bringing voices of established and emergent Wright scholars into dialogue with each other. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this volume show how Wright's best work asks central questions about national alienation as well as about international belonging and the trans-national gaze. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48790773432555,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":73.15,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781501312694-1.jpg?v=1781684683","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781501312694","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
