Detalhes da ObraUncle Tom's Children de Richard Wright (1938)
   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This book comprises four novellas by Richard Wright, with a short sketch of some of the author's experiences growing up in the Jim Crow South. The stories are candid and dark expressions of what it is like for Blacks to live under White oppression where their lives are totally controlled by the Whites. Two of the stories focus specifically on the relationship between Blacks and White communists as they join hand in the struggle to gain freedom and basic human rights. Very sobering material.

It is this central psychological core of Negro life in the Deep South, communicated in clear, unemotional prose, which gives Wright's stories their intensity, and a kind of impersonal eloquence in voicing the tragedy of his people.
