	The C.L.R. James Institute presents: The Richard Wright Connection: Quotations
		Wright wants a new world; men working freely together in social relationships that not only realize a complete personality but develop every potential and result in new associations and new men altogether.
		Wright's desire to criticise and experiment with Western philosophy can itself be read as a modernist violation of the literary codes and expectations surrounding Negro literature which his own work had helped to establish.
		For many African-American critics it seems that Wright’s most attractive face was the one James Baldwin had recognised immediately as that of a "Mississippi Picanniny." The question of why this side of Wright should be the most appealing deserves to be answered at length.

		That is not to say that Richard Wright created a novel free of flaws, but that he wrote the first novel that successfully told the most painful and unvarnished truth about American social and class relations.
		Wright's genius was that, in preventing us from feeling pity for Bigger, he forced us to confront the hopelessness, misery, and injustice of the society that gave birth to him.
		Somehow, Wright's talent is great enough to make you completely identify with Bigger no matter where you come from in life-you feel his anger, his nihilism, his frustration at a world where a poor fl boy lives in fear most of the time.

	On Richard Wright's Poetry
		Richard Wright's poetry has ironically suffered a dearth of critical attention given its significance as a record of his entrée to both American Communism and a literary career.
		Wright's radical verse of the 1930s was written at a time when what might be called his political "vision" was most coherent, his role in U.S. culture and letters most easily understood.
		A full recovery of Wright, then, demands a restoration and recovery of the poetic Wright, the one whose verse predicted and dovetailed with the "proletarian moment" as well as that of any other poet, fl or white, of his time.
