«Black Boy» is the autobiography of Richard Wright, originally published in 1945 by Harper and Brothers in hardcover (103 pages, in English).
Wright recalls his childhood and youth in the southern United States during the early decades of the twentieth century. Poverty, hunger, fear and violence coexist with everyday segregation and racism; against them, the author discovers reading and struggles to educate himself and assert himself in an environment that denies opportunities to young Black people.
For readers of memoirs and African American literature, as well as for those studying the history of racial segregation in the United States.
