This dissertation focuses on Richard Wright's later non-fiction works Black Power, The Color Curtain and Pagan Spain. It investigates the effects of Wright's travel writings on his worldview and his attitude towards people from different national, racial and cultural backgrounds. It deals with transnational connectedness and the novel subjectivities it engenders. It also attempts to comprehend how the circumstances of interconnectedness, versatility and mobility engendered by globalization influence people's worldviews and their belonging to a community, concentrating on the transnational aspect as its case. While analyzing these issues, this study attempts to further our understanding of transnationalism and transnational phenomena in Wright's trilogy which fundamentally inverts the emphasis of most essentialists critics by crossing racial and national boundaries. Moreover, this dissertation examines cross-currents of influence on Wright's worldview. Wright's works serve as a heritage for critics and thinkers in the United States and elsewhere in the World. Wright calls for a renewed focus on intercultural and transnational dialogue in modernist studies. In addition, this study explores how Third World subjects map and narrate their multiple and hybrid identities among and between various discrepant cultural spaces, borders, communities, places and identity narratives. Rather than promoting the claims of sameness, identity politics and the primacy of a single cultural space, Wright's non-fiction works suggest these subjects' tactical articulation of their identities between, across, and through a transnational matrix of permeable borders and provisional places in their search for an ethical language of coalition politics and transformation.
