At four years of age, Richard Wright set fire to his home; at five his father deserted the family; by six Richard was - temporarily - an alcoholic. Moved from home to home, he had had, by the age of twelve, only one year's formal education. It was in saloons, railroad yards and streets that he learned the facts about life under white subjection, about fear, hunger and hatred. Gradually he learned to survived in a world of white hostility, secretly satisfying his craving for books and knowledge until the time came when he could follow his dream of justice and opportunity in the north.

Um ótimo livro :)

Indicaria para pessoas brancas que querem estudar sobre segregação, e como a construção social do racismo foi e é prejuducial para as pessoas pretas. Para nós, negros, tem vários diálogos e situações que podem servir de gatilho, então pensaria duas vezes antes de reler.
