ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a preliminary investigation of the pervasiveness of fundamental concepts such as transnationalism, colonialism, and race. The question of translating the minority voice for the mainstream reader is what is at issue in the author's examination of Wright's Black Power. The repetition of "man" and "human" throughout descriptions of Wright recalls Stein and Faulkner's transitional views of the African American author's works. The question of freedom is a common concept between Wright and Africans when he first encountered them. The discussions of Wright's Black Power about the development that Wright achieved in his writing career as a representative of humanitarian values. This new perception of approaching conflict management summarizes Wright's concept of transnational humanity, which is firmly established in Black Boy. Wright tried to produce a wider, transnational perspective in his way of dealing with political and cultural issues in Black Power and the African experience.
