The donation of the Ellison papers to the Library was announced in February 1996, and the full collection will be received over a four-year period. (Photo by Yvonne French) Alice Birney, the American literature specialist in the Manuscript Division, has responsibility for the papers. Upon completion of the terms of acquisition, the Library will receive approximately 140 cartons of various sizes containing manuscript drafts and notes for both published and unpublished works, speeches, correspondence, files, photographs and recordings and Ellison's entire working library. As Ellison's papers are unpacked and organized, an archivist will prepare a "finding aid," an unpublished register that describes the material.

68. Alan Wald On Irving Howe An article titled The Cul-de-sac of Social Democracy http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/wald-on-howe.html

from The New York Intellectuals , by Alan M. Wald (pp. 311-321): "The Cul-de-sac of Social Democracy" What would happen if men remained faithful to the ideals of their youth? — Pietro Spina in Ignazio Silone's Bread and Wine PORTRAIT: IRVING HOWE For the New York intellectuals, the consequences of Cold War anticommunism extend far beyond the 1950s. The transformation in ideology and political consciousness consolidated in the early 1950s definitively and perhaps permanently shifted the axis of anti-Stalinism from its revolutionary anticapitalist premise, creating a movement that discredited more than it assisted the far left. Indeed, the behavior of the bulk of the New York intellectuals in the 1950s undermined the validity of the whole anti-Stalinist current of thought and even somewhat redeemed the Communist, fellow-traveling, and progressive liberals who acted heroically by comparison. That Howe was able to bring an element of socialist discourse into American literary and academic circles during the Cold War years testifies to his considerable intellectual resources and certain strengths of character. That he vehemently turned against the New Left of the 1960s and early 1970s, caricaturing its aims and activities, and even flirted briefly with the incipient neoconservatives and their campaign against the *New York Review of Books*, may be evidence of the limitations of the social democratic perspective that he chose as his political guide. Hardworking, an impressive literary craftsman, a critic of exceptional imaginative and intellectual powers, and a tireless fighter for his political views, Howe's inability to revitalize the anti-Stalinist left as more than an impotent wing of liberalism is due primarily to a self- defeating political strategy, not personal defects in morality or intelligence.

Ralph Ellisonfrom leftist reviews to modernist interiority An excerpt from Thomas Hill Schaub's American Fiction in the Cold War (Wisconsin, 1991) In book reviews for New Masses from 1939 to 1941, [Ellison's] Marxist perspective remains a central element. In "Ruling Class Southerner," for example, he faults the author for failing to make his central character "the personalization of the sociological facts" and argues that "no matter how powerful an individual may become, he is dependent upon others with similar interests; it is this group's consciousness of itself as a class . . . that is responsible" ([p] 27). In "Anti-War Novel" Ellison suggests that Spring Offensive, a novel by Herbert Lewis, is unlikely to receive attention from "the capitalist press," and admires the book for showing "a degree of class consciousness" and "nuances of American class struggle" (29- 30). Similarly, Ellison praises Len Zinberg's novel Walk Hard, Talk Loud for showing a boy's coming to see his relation to a "diseased social order" and notes that the success of Zinberg, a white writer, derives from his "Marxist understanding of the economic basis of Negro personality" ("Negro Prize Fighter," 27). Looking back through these first essays, one notices not only that Ellison easily accommodated Marxist ideology with other themes that he has since retained, but also that within the context of that time, his determination to situate the black American within the terms of universality was far from reactionary. Ellison was preoccupied with the need to displace "stereotyped roles which ignore Negro problems and Negro reality" with roles and portraits that acknowledged a greater "range of emotion." "It was a long Broadway tradition," he notes in his review of Theodore Ward's

The Art of John Coltrane and Ralph Ellison The combination of economic exploitation and racism has made one facet of the so-called "Black American experience" poverty and degradation. One could cite a myriad of statistics about higher unemployment, lower wages, lower funding for schools, and disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison or on death row. And yet, that is only one side of a very complex story, one far too complex to be understood in terms of mere statistics, or to be discussed as an all-inclusive "experience." How can one take the lives of millions of people, with diverse conditions and interests, clump them all together, and talk about it in any meaningful way? How can one hope to explain such diverse things as jazz and the blues, the tremendous wealth of Black Literature, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, Frederick Douglas, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King Jr., John Coltrane, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Clarence Thomas, the Million Man March, Louis Farrakhan, Wilson Goode, Tom Bradley, Rodney King and the Los Angeles rebellion in 1992

Terms of Service OAS_AD('Top'); Editor: Updated: Today Topic: Fiction Thursday, Oct 5, 2000 03:00 ET Ralph Ellison Invisible Man By Ralph Ellison Ralph Ellison was born in Okalahoma and trained as a musician at Tuskegee Institute from 1933 to 1936, at which time a visit to New York and a meeting with Richard Wright led to his first attempts at fiction. Invisible Man won the National Book Award and the Russwurm Award. Appointed to the Academy of American Arts and Letters in 1964, Ellison taught at many colleges including Bard College, the University of Chicago, and New York University where he was Albert Schweitzer Professor of Humanities from 1970 through 1980. Ralph Ellison died in 1994. Invisible Man is a milestone in American literature, a book that has continued to engage readers since its appearance in 1952. A first novel by an unknown writer, it remained on the bestseller list for sixteen weeks, won the National Book Award for fiction, and established Ralph Ellison as one of the key writers of the century. The nameless narrator of the novel describes growing up in a black community in the South, moving to New York and becoming the chief spokesman of the Harlem branch of "the Brotherhood," and retreating amid violence and confusion to the basement lair of the Invisible Man he imagines himself to be.

79. The Rhetoric Of Anticommunism In 'Invisible Man' Analysis of language use in the novel. http://victorian.fortunecity.com/holbein/439/bf/rhetoric_of_anticommunism.html

Web hosting Custom Email SiteBuilder The Rhetoric of Anticommunism in Invisible Man from College English (September 1997) The more astute readers of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man have routinely evinced dissatisfaction with the novel's epilogue. Some have noted that the apparent elision of narrator with author in the novel's final pages too abruptly effaces the reader's ironic distantiation from the narrator, thus loading the epilogue's political dice. Others have complained of the unproblematic celebration of American democracy in the closing pages of a novel that has yielded scant basis for such loyalty. Still others have chided the epilogue's ahistoricism and would-be universalism its reconceptualization of racism as a metaphor for an abstract human condition, its claim that the black narrator, hitherto rendered invisible primarily because of the color of his skin, now encompasses the invisibility of all alienated humanity. Whether focusing on issues of form or politics, these critics have argued that the epilogue to Invisible Man constitutes a dramatic rupture with what has preceded, an attempt to impose a psychological, political and philosophical solution possessing little organic relation to the rest of the novel.1
