%X This article wants to follow the path and development of ¡°black subject¡± in the USA through the novels of the Afro-American writer Richard Wright. Written between the 50¡¯s and 70¡¯s, Wright's novels tell us about the segregation and humiliation inflicted by white men, but also the process of self-colonisation that the Afro-American ¨C no longer slaves, but still not entirely free, neither de iure, nor de facto ¨C subjected themselves to. By telling the stories of young boys struggling with their growing up - from their childhood to the first steps into a violent adulthood - Wright shows ¨C in a way which is never inane and rhetorical, nor blindly optimistic ¨C the need to overcome the old models and racist stereotypes, and builds his own work as a true Bildungsroman of the ¡°black subject¡±.
