Invisible Cultures

Abstract: Existence, like culture, is constructed from the experiences of the individual and is shaped by the physical, social, and political contexts of life as experienced by the group. This 5 page paper argues that Ralph Ellison in The Invisible Man, W. E. B. Du Bois in Spiritual Strivings, Leslie Marmon Silko in Ceremony and Amiri Baraka in Blues People each see the theme of invisibility from a cultural conflict based on subjugation, assimilation, appropriation, extermination and, or, dispossession. No additional sources are listed.
