Black Power joins together three of Richard Wright’s most persuasive nonfiction books. Black Power is his impassioned chronicle of conditions he found on his trip to Africa’s Gold Coast as it was in the process of becoming the free nation of Ghana. White Man, Listen! is a collection of the best of Richard Wright’s lectures on race, politics, and other matters close to the acclaimed novelist and essayist’s heart, which he delivered in Europe between 1950 and 1956. The Color Curtain urges the removal of the color barrier.

“Before it is too late, we would do well to read carefully and critically what Richard Wright has written.”—San Francisco Chronicle
