ABSTRACT

Transnationalism is the surpassing of the borders and barriers of nation, race, and culture. Colonialism is important in relation to transnationalism because it creates borders, aggravates tension among people of the same nation, and manipulates the colonized nation. Wright functions as a transnational agent; he is the intellectual who is able to move from a state of persecution to an advocate of liberation and equality among humans with the aim of creating more interaction, productivity among humans, and equal access to resources. The Black Power and The Color Curtain, Wright calls the West to take a humanitarian and philanthropic role to develop the third-world countries. Having said that, Wright, as an author of an overpowered people, was well aware of his duties, and without abandoning the inquiry into race relationship, entered probably the most essential issues of the current century—imperialism and neocolonialism. In Pagan Spain, Wright acquires a transnational view of the universal world in its diversity.
