Invisibility in african american novels

Meer over het boek

Exploring the theme of blindness in mid-20th century African American novels, this seminar paper examines the metaphorical blindness experienced by black protagonists rather than a literal physical impairment. It delves into the concept of psychical blindness, emphasizing how one's perception of reality is shaped by internal perspectives. The analysis draws on Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" to illustrate how these inner visions influence characters' understanding and engagement with the world around them.
