ReviewsThis is Richard Wright's Spain, which means that it is fascinating, intense, subjective, emotional., "This is Richard Wright's Spain, which means that it is fascinating, intense, subjective, emotional." -- New York Times Book Review "Controversial in the extreme, but [the author] presents a point of view with honesty." -- San Francisco Chronicle

SynopsisA master chronicler of the African-American experience, Richard Wright brilliantly expanded his literary horizons with Pagan Spain , originally published in 1957. An amalgam of expert travel reportage, dramatic monologue, and arresting sociological critique, Pagan Spain serves as a pointed and still-relevant commentary on the grave human dangers of oppression and governmental corruption. The Spain Richard Wright visited in the mid-twentieth century was not the romantic locale of song and story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions. The portrait he offers in Pagan Spain is a blistering, powerful, yet scrupulously honest depiction of a land and people in turmoil, caught in the strangling dual grip of cruel dictatorship and what Wright saw as an undercurrent of primitive faith., A master chronicler of the African-American experience, Richard Wright brilliantly expanded his literary horizons with Pagan Spain, originally published in 1957.
