Book Review of Native Son: And How Bigger Was Born

Native Son: And How Bigger Was Born
caringreader avatar reviewed on


This is a very powerful, thought provoking book about the black experience in America which opens the consciousness for all American readers of what it means to live in a multi-racial society in which power splits along racial lines. I could not put it down as the story focuses on the very difficult life of a young black man living on the south side of Chicago and the ramifications of living the black experience in America.
