Richard Wright's The Color Curtain: Paths for Intercultural Dialogue

Abstract

[...]Wrights interest in the Third World had now replaced his concern for the race problem in his native land. Since I had resolved to go to Bandung, the problem of getting to know the Asian personality had been with me day and night. [...]Wright concludes that a racial consciousness, evoked by the attitudes and practices of the West, had slowly blended with a defensive feeling (CC 140). [...]in The Color Curtain Wright is able to take the ideas introduced in Black Power and apply them on a grander, more global scale.
