No Race, No Country

Description
"No Race, No Country presents a major reconsideration of the breakthrough African American author Richard Wright's work and life. It challenges standard evaluations of his reputation as an autodidact, his late novels, his travel books, and his political commitments after he left the Communist Party USA. Deborah Mutnick engages a wide range of Wright's work throughout his career, providing a nuanced perspective on his complicated gender politics and his serious engagement with Marx's notions of historical materialism, alienation, and commodity fetishism. Adding to a small but growing number of studies of his ecological consciousness, it also examines both his closeness to nature, especially during his youth and late in life, and his early mapping of a racial geography of the 'second nature' of the sociocultural world that overlaps with and transforms the natural world. Finally, it joins a recent surge in scholarship on Wright's later nonfiction as a progenitor of Black radical internationalism in the 1960s and 1970s"--
