Wright on Antiblackness, Guilt, and Death in Native Son
Apr 26, 2023•22 min•Ep. 20
Episode description
A discussion of the 1951 film adaptation of Richard Wright's novel Native Son. I am particularly interested in the theme of race and guilt, a theme that is consistent across Wright's work and illuminates his existential themes of condemnation to death and the sociological construction of racial identity in the social relation.
