In the narrator’s generation, the young man we accompany on his journey, represents, to this day, the lives of many young African-American men. They are issues like our very own struggles with personal identity, and the need to be seen and recognized in a world that is figuratively blind, as well as racism. The issues that are powerfully addressed in this book are those that are still relevant in the modern world. The invisible man takes us through the African- American experience in the turbulent political and social times in the 1930s. It is set in the 1930s, in a small town in the American South. The invisible man addresses the social issues as well as the intellectual issues that most Africans-Americans faced in the early twentieth century, including Black Nationalism, politics, and the relationship between black identity and Marxism. The invisible man is a novel published in 1952 by writer, literary critique and novelist, Ralph Ellison.
