Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man  Was published in 1952  Tracks the life of an unnamed narrator  Is a work of fiction, but also establishes a sophisticated political theory

 Washington advocated industrial training for African-Americans  Ellison addresses Washington in his infamous “battle royal” scene  In this scene, Ellison parodies Washington’s Atlanta Exposition Address of 1895

Established his theories for black equality in The Souls of Black Folk and Darkwater Advocated an assertion of rights through intelligent and rational thought Ellison critiqued Du Bois’ theories of: African community The Veil “Two-ness”

Ellison used his critique of other thinkers to establish his own political theory Ellison articulates his theory in the novel’s epilogue Ellison argues for individual African- American self-realization that will lead to an affirmation of American democratic principles and motivate individuals to meaningful action.
