    FEAR AND VIOLENCE IN RICHARD WRIGHT’S NATIVE SON
    (2020-06) Nadia ALLAL, Wiam DERGUINI
    The present study examines fear and violence in Richard Wright’s Native Son. It investigates the situation of the black African Americans facing problems of invisibility and white justice in the American society. Hence, the study employs Psychoanalysis and Critical Race theories. It analyses the characters’ behaviour and gives a better understanding of the psychological issues, with reference to race, law, and power. Hence, this dissertation is divided into two main chapters. Chapter one introduces the socio-historical context and the theoretical framework. The second chapter explores the themes of fear and violence, and the concept of invisibility in Richard Wright’s Native Son.
