Richard Wright’s seminal 1940 novel, Native Son, chronicles the harrowing trajectory of Bigger Thomas, a young Black man living in the restrictive environment of 1930s Chicago. Through a lens of unflinching social realism, Wright examines the systemic pressures and psychological toll of racial injustice, crafting a narrative that remains a cornerstone of American protest literature.
