Publisher Description Author, intellectual, and social critic, Ralph Ellison (1914-94) was a pivotal figure in American literature and history and arguably the father of African American modernism. Universally acclaimed for his first novel, ""Invisible Man"", a masterpiece of modern fiction, Ellison was recognized with a stunning succession of honors, including the 1953 National Book Award. Despite his literary accomplishments and political activism, however, Ellison has received surprisingly sparse treatment from biographers. Lawrence Jacksons biography of Ellison, the first when it was published in 2002, focuses on the authors early life.Powerfully enhanced by rare photographs, this work draws from archives, literary correspondence, and interviews with Ellisons relatives, friends, and associates. Tracing the writers path from poverty in dust bowl Oklahoma to his rise among the literary elite, Jackson explores Ellisons important relationships with other stars, particularly Langston Hughes and Richard Wright, and examines his previously undocumented involvement in the Socialist Left of the 1930s and 1940s, the black radical rights movement of the same period, and the League of American Writers. The result is a fascinating portrait of a fraternal cadre of important black writers and critics - and the singularly complex and intriguing man at its center. Author Biography Lawrence P. Jackson is an associate professor of African American studies and English at Emory University. He was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship and was Resident Fellow at Harvards W. E. B. Du Bois Institute while completing this book. Details ISBN 0820329932 ISBN-13 9780820329932 Title Ralph Ellison Author Lawrence P.
