Abstract
It is the premise of this thesis to discuss and to evaluate the protests as revealed in the works of Richard Wright and to classify and attempt to interpret these protests on the basis of their soundness, their possible origin in the light of the life of the author, and the increase or the decrease of their violence throughout his writing. Incidental to the discussion of the validity of the protests of Richard Wright, this thesis proposes to determine the effect and the value of his literary contributions in the field of American Literature.
