Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors Richard Wright (1908-1960) Index Richard Wright was born into a poor Mississippi sharecropping family that his father deserted when the boy was five. Wright was the first African-American novelist to reach a general audience, even though he had barely a ninth grade education. His harsh childhood is depicted in one of his best books, his autobiography, Black Boy (1945). He later said that his sense of deprivation, due to racism, was so great that only reading kept him alive. The social criticism and realism of Sherwood Anderson, Theodore Dreiser , and Sinclair Lewis especially inspired Wright. During the 1930s, he joined the Communist party; in the 1940s, he moved to France, where he knew Gertrude Stein and Jean-Paul Sartre and became an anti-Communist. His outspoken writing blazed a path for subsequent African-American novelists. His work includes Uncle Tom's Children (1938), a book of short stories, and the powerful and relentless novel

Extractions: "Words can be weapons against injustice," wrote Richard Wright. These words are evidenced by Wright¹s own career as a successful black writer emerging during a period of racial oppression and economic hardship. Born September 4, 1908 on a plantation in Roxie, Mississippi, Wright came into a family embedded in the Southern tradition. His grandfather had been a slave, and his father was an illiterate sharecropper and mill worker. At the age of six, Wright¹s father abandoned the family, leaving Wright and his younger brother by two years, Leon, under the sole care of his mother Ella who was a schoolteacher at the time. Moving to Memphis, Tennessee, where Ella took a job as a cook, Wright and his family lived in extreme poverty. His mother felt it necessary to move from community to community; Wright thus attended school sporadically. In the meantime, he also stayed at the homes of various relatives in Arkansas and Mississippi, working various small part-time jobs. With his meager earnings, he managed to buy magazines, dime novels, old schoolbooks despite his lack of formal education, Wright read voraciously. In 1935, Wright completed his first novel, Cesspool (published post-posthumously under the title Lawd Today). He also began to publish other works of poetry and short stories. Wright moved to Harlem, New York, in 1937 where he kept himself busy writing articles for various journals and publication as well as his first published book, Uncle Tom¹s Children. The novel was finished in 1938 and consisted of a collection of novellas about racial oppression in the South. After being awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, Wright moved to Brooklyn where he was able to finish what is considered one of the most defining works of his career: Native Son.

Extractions: Wright, 1957 (b. Sept. 4, 1908, near Natchez, Miss., U.S.d. Nov. 28, 1960, Paris, France), novelist and short-story writer, who was among the first black American writers to protest white treatment of blacks, notably in his novel Native Son (1940) and his autobiography, Black Boy (1945). He inaugurated the tradition of protest explored by other black writers after World War II. Wright's grandparents had been slaves. His father left home when he was five, and the boy, who grew up in poverty, was often shifted from one relative to another. He worked at a number of jobs before joining the northward migration, first to Memphis, Tenn., and then to Chicago. There, after working in unskilled jobs, he got an opportunity to write through the Federal Writers' Project. In 1932 he became a member of the Communist Party, and in 1937 he went to New York City, where he became Harlem editor of the Communist Daily Worker He first came to the general public's attention with a volume of novellas, Uncle Tom's Children (1938), based on the question: How may a black man live in a country that denies his humanity? In each story but one the hero's quest ends in death.

Extractions: Wright, Richard Wright, Richard, , American author. An African American born on a Mississippi plantation, Wright struggled through a difficult childhood and worked to educate himself. In the 1930s, he joined the Federal Writers' Project in Chicago and wrote Uncle Tom's Children (1938), a collection of four novellas dealing with Southern racial problems. His novel Native Son (1940), which many consider Wright's most important work, concerns the life of Bigger Thomas, a victimized African American struggling against the complicated political and social conditions of Chicago in the 1930s. In 1932, Wright joined the Communist party but later left it in disillusionment. After World War II, Wright moved to Paris. His Black Boy (1945), also regarded as one of his finest works, is an account of his childhood and youth. Other works include Twelve Million Black Voices (1941), a folk history of African Americans; American Hunger (1977), a two-part autobiography; The Outsider (1953) and The Long Dream (1958), two novels;

http://dannyreviews.com/h/TCP_IP_Illustrated_2.html

Extractions: The Implementation Addison-Wesley 1995 A book review by Danny Yee As presentations of the TCP/IP protocols, the first volumes of Stevens' TCP/IP Illustrated and Comer's Internetworking with TCP/IP are evenly matched. When it comes to TCP/IP implementations, however, the second volume of TCP/IP Illustrated has a definite edge on the second volume of Internetworking with TCP/IP . For one thing, it describes a real implementation - the 4.4BSD-Lite (Net 3) code - rather than a "toy" one, and it covers it in far greater detail. While Comer and Stevens included chapters on SNMP clients and servers, and on implementation of the RIP and OSPF routing algorithms, Wright and Stevens restrict themselves to TCP/IP "proper", providing separate chapters on topics such as SLIP and ethernet drivers, IGMP, and packet filtering. With almost twice as many pages, the extra depth is hardly surprising, but since most people will use it as a reference rather than reading it cover to cover (I have read only four of the thirty two chapters in full), I don't think the length has any disadvantages. The promise of the "illustrated" in the title is fulfilled with diagrams showing the relationships between different functions, lists of global variables, diagrams of the data structures used, and a complete code listing. It's still not easy reading, but it's a darn sight more fun than looking at the raw code. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, with some solutions in an appendix.

Video Richard Wright - Black Boy An educational video, which contextualizes Wright's work with dramatized excerpts from his best-known works, historical footage and the recollection of friends such as Ralph Ellison and Margaret Walker. The video traces Wright's life-long theme - the powerlessness and anger of the black male - back to the power and racism of his own childhood in the Jim Crow South. It follows his participation in the black cultural renaissance of the 1920s, the left-wing activism of the 1930s, the expatriate community in Paris during the McCarthy-era witch hunts and the Pan-African independence movement of the 1950s.
