Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Wright

Native Son is a 2019 drama based off the 20th century American classic novel of the same name by Richard Wright. Starring Ashton Sanders (of Moonlight fame), Native Son follows a young black man named Bigger who lives in Chicago. Bigger is into the punk and alternative lifestyle but doesn't quite fit in with his friends. His mom's boyfriend gets him an interview to be a driver for a wealthy Chicago businessman named Henry Dalton (portrayed by Bill Camp). Bigger quickly gets to know Henry Dalton's daughter Mary Dalton (portrayed by Margaret Qualley), a woman that will eventually change his life. Caution: movie spoilers.

Pink Floyd's 'Animals', a lyrically dark, musically dense concept album loosely based on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', is as eerily precient today as it was when first released in 1977. Rob and this week's guest, Portland, Oregon songwriter and

«En Amérique, nous sommes là depuis 3 siècles, rejetés dans le ghetto, mais nous sommes Américains !» revendiquait l'écrivain Richard Wright. Être des Américaines et des Américains comme les autres, est une aspiration partagée par toutes celles et ceux qui ont répondu à l'enquête historique menée par les deux sociologues africains américains St. Clair Drake et Horace R. Cayton dans les quartiers de Black Metropolis, au cœur du ghetto de la ville de Chicago. Une enquête devenue un classique de la socio-anthropologie urbaine, publiée aux États-Unis en 1945 et enfin disponible en français. Mais que raconte Black Metropolis de la réalité quotidienne des migrants noirs arrivés dans ce bastion industriel du nord ? Comment sont-ils venus alors qu'ils fuyaient le racisme officiel des États du sud ? Comment ont-ils survécu et lutté pour leurs droits dans le ghetto urbain de Chicago ? Et comment ont-ils organisé leur vie sociale et culturelle au rythme du blues de Chicago, genre musical qu'ils ont inventé ? Autant de questions à évoquer avec nos invitées Anne Raulin et Danièle Joly, directrices de la traduction en français de Black Metropolis, une ville dans la ville, Chicago, 1914-1945.À lire : Black Metropolis, une ville dans la ville, Chicago, 1914-1945, aux éditions de la MSH dans la collection Amérique(s).Une traduction dirigée par Anne Raulin, professeure émérite en Anthropologie à l'Université Paris Nanterre et spécialiste des minorités urbaines et des dynamiques mémorielles et Danièle Joly, sociologue, professeure émérite à l'Université de Warwick et spécialiste des questions d'intégration, de discrimination et d'asile en Europe. Playlist :  Duke Ellington, Caravan Mahalia Jackson, Precious Lord take my hand Jelly Roll Morton, Winin'boy blues Robert Johnson, Sweet home Chicago. Pour aller plus loin :À écouter aussi«Chicago - Juillet 1919, les premières émeutes raciales» Black Lives Matter, l'affaire Emmett Till

Settling for your day to day routine is one of the best ways to ensure a boring unfulfilled life. When you feel unfulfilled and like everyday is filled with going through the motions, it becomes easy to turn to unhealthy, self-destructive habits. Without understanding why you feel this way, affairs, drugs, and other unhealthy addictions have the opportunity to creep in. Robert Greene is well known for books that have shaped culture, challenged beliefs and p*ssed quite a few people off. The Daily Laws, Mastery and The 48 Laws of Power are just a few of his bestselling books. Robert joins Tom in this epic conversation about how to look inward and uncover the root cause of the boredom that leaves you feeling like your just wasting life away. Fulfillment is key if you really want to change your life around. The path to fulfillment involves mastery and Robert breaks down our need for stress in order to get there.

"Wright was one of those people," said poet Amiri Baraka, "who made me conscious of the need to struggle." In this episode, Jacke takes a look at the life and works of Black American novelist and poet Richard Wright (1908-1960), author of Uncle Tom's Children, Native Son, Black Boy, and thousands of haiku. Born in Mississippi in desperate poverty to a schoolteacher mother and a sharecropper father (who were themselves the free children of formerly enslaved peoples), Wright had little formal education until he was 12, when he quickly demonstrated his intelligence and passion for reading. After high school, Wright traveled north to Chicago, where he set his most famous work, the fiery Dostoevskyan novel Native Son. Quickly achieving celebrity as one of America's most famous and successful Black writers, Wright moved to Paris, where he lived the rest of his life - and where he met a young James Baldwin, who accepted Wright's help before writing a pair of essays that strongly criticized Wright's fiction.

Richard Wright was an African American author who lived from 1908 to 1960. He is best known for his novels, which often dealt with the struggles of black Americans in the early 20th century. Wright grew up in poverty in Mississippi and faced racism and discrimination throughout his life. Despite these challenges, he became a prolific writer. His works include Native Son and Black Boy, are considered classics of American literature. Wright was also a political activist and his writing often reflected his beliefs in the need for social justice. Today, he is remembered as one of the most important writers of the 20th century and a voice for the African American experience.

In this episode I'm joined by Dalkey Archive's editorial director, Chad W. Post. We discuss the republication of the late Marguerite Young's cult-classic work of fiction, Miss MacIntosh, My Darling (Dalkey Archive Press, 2024). A colossal novel of over 1,000 pages, a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, permanent opium-induced hallucinations, a sprawling sense of scope, and a truly distinct and lyrical prose style--it's a doozy. I haven't finished yet myself, having stopped and restarted multiple times over the years, but that's the beauty of it; it's challenging, wandering, dense, at times utterly absurd, but always rewarding. Chad painstakingly walks us through the book's editorial legacy, and the gargantuan task of excavating this text and introducing it to new generations. Chad W. Post is the publisher of Open Letter Books and Editorial Director for the Dalkey Archive Press. He also writes a Substack called "Mining the Dalkey Archive." Marguerite Young, a descendant of Brigham Young, was born in Indiana in 1909 and spent most of her life in Greenwich Village, where she associated with writers like Richard Wright, Carson McCullers, Truman Capote, and Gertrude Stein. In addition to Miss MacIntosh, My Darling she published two works of poetry, a work of nonfiction (Angel in the Forest), a collection of essays and stories (Inviting the Muses), and Harp Song for a Radical: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs, which was published posthumously. Tyler Thier, your host, is a faculty member and administrator in the Department of Writing Studies & Rhetoric at Hofstra University. He regularly writes and teaches cultural criticism, and his scholarship is concerned with malicious rhetoric and dangerous media—specifically, extremist manifestos. Learn more about your ad choices.
