Sažetak
In the early twentieth century, the legacy of slavery greatly contributed to the problem of social dislocation of African Americans and it affected the bonds between family members. The family social structure shifted from the nuclear to the extended family, as single parents struggled under the burden of racism, In this article, Richard Wright's portrayal of the black family in his novels will be analyzed as a place of refuge from the oppressive environment but also as a source of destruction and restriction.
