The autobiography of Richard Wright, author of "Native Son," chronicling his days as a young black man in rural Mississippi and Memphis. It's a hard-hitting look at race relations in the United States before the civil rights era, a story as powerful today as when it was first published in 1945. Written with the grace of fiction, it is ultimately an inspiring tale of perseverance. This edition contains the entire restored text.  (USS50, $14.99)
