Ralph Waldo Ellison
A short biography about ralph ellison and some links.
http://aalbc.com/authors/ellison.htm

Extractions: Ralph Ellison Born March 1, 1914, in Oklahoma City, OK; died of cancer, April 16, 1994, in New York, NY; son of Lewis Alfred (a construction worker and tradesman) and Ida (Millsap) Ellison; married Fanny McConnell, July, 1946. The American writer Ralph Waldo Ellison , b. Oklahoma City, Okla., Mar. 1, 1914, achieved international fame with his first novel, Invisible Man (1952). He was influenced early by the myth of the frontier, viewing the United States as a land of "infinite possibilities." The close-knit black community in which he grew up supplied him with images of courage and endurance and an interest in music. From 1933 to 1936, Ellison attended Tuskegee Institute, intent upon pursuing a career in music; his readings in modern literature, however, interested him in writing. In 1936 he moved to New York City, met the novelist Richard Wright , and became associated with the Federal Writers' Project, publishing short stories and articles in such magazines as New Challenge and New Masses . These early details of his life, set down in

Student Web Pages On Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man
West Springfield High School s literary web site for ralph ellison s Invisible Man.
http://www.fcps.edu/westspringfieldhs/projects/im98/im98.htm

Extractions: Welcome to West Springfield High School's English 11GT web site for Ellison's Invisible Man . During our 1997-98 fourth quarter studies, we compiled research data and chapter summaries that pertain to a close reading of this novel. Each class developed its own pages; therefore, each of the three sites pertaining to Invisible Man differs according to the interests of the individual students. To create this site, we first met for three class periods in the computer lab to begin the research of our ancillary topics, to collect graphics pertinent to the site, and to write our html pages. We presented oral reports to the class and submitted our web pages to several committees who developed the design and plan of the site. When all the pages had been submitted, we utilized the Career Center's facilities for the final compilation; on that day, we edited, corrected, and finished our pages. To my students: you have amazed me with your aptitude and eagerness to develop, design, and write web pages as well as to help one another during this process. From novices to experts, you cheerfully and enthusiastically accepted this assignment. You have created an incredible and invaluable source of academic materials for others to use. This site, indeed, is a testament to your skills as problem-solvers, peer tutors, and learners. Please send comments or questions to Susan Latour

http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~bfoley/files/foleyreleft2.htm

Extractions: Ralph Ellison as Proletarian Journalist Barbara Foley from Science and Society , Winter 1998-99 It has become a critical commonplace that, in his unsympathetic portrayal of the Brotherhood in Invisible Man , Ralph Ellison "got it right" about the left, as it were. While Ellison spent some time on the fringes of the Communist Party (CP), the story goes, he was always wary of its motives and, as a black man, skeptical of its class-based politics: he had been close enough to feel the heat, but not close enough to get burned. This view of Ellison as political ingenue has been compounded by the more or less explicitly anticommunist standards of evaluation that critics over the decades have brought to bear upon Invisible Man . Early reviewers and critics, participating in the New Critical backlash against literary proletarianism, praised Ellison for his universalist existential humanism. More recent critics, eager to enlist Ellison in the postmodernist war on totality, have celebrated his subversive tricksterism, his practice as bricoleur , his use of the vernacular presumably to articulate a Bakhtinian resistance to monologistic discourses of all kindsespecially, of course, "Stalinist" Marxism. Appreciation of Ellison's artistry has from the outset been interwoven with praise for his rejection of the left.1

Many say that Ralph Waldo Ellison (1914-1994) kick-started the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States with his famous novel, Invisible Man. Although he resisted activism in his personal life, Ellison empowered the nation through the wonderful words that finally described reality for young black men. Born in Oklahoma from humble beginnings, Ellison faced a difficult life growing up in the south. He studied music and art at an early age, and moved to New York City to find work when he was 22. Ellison catapulted onto the literary scene after meeting Richard Wright, author of "Native Son." Wright, whose success arose from writing about black life, befriended the young writer and encouraged him to voice his experience with racial prejudices. Ellison wrote with the Federal Writing Project until "Invisible Man" was published in 1952.

http://www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/ellison.html

Extractions: Linda Wagner-Martin While readers often find an excerpt from Ellison's Invisible Man in anthologies, his 1944 story, "King of the Bingo Game," introduces many of his characteristic themesissues of self-knowledge, marginalization, and postmodern angst in an evocative, surreal text. One of the last stories he wrote before starting the masterful Invisible Man , "King of the Bingo Game" integrates politics, history, and ritual with Ellison's grounding of African-American folklore. According to Robert G. O'Meally, it was the writer's use of black sermons, tales, games, jokes, boasts, dozens, blues, and spirituals that set his work apart from that of other mid-century African-American writers. His incorporation of folklore gave his work a richer textual base and thematically unified his aesthetic and the black community. Useful exercises, for Ellison as well as Zora Neale Hurston James Weldon Johnson , and even Nella Larsen , are discussions of that folklore. Because Ellison studied

DISSENT: Decoding Ralph Ellison Often overlooked or omitted in any biographical study of Ralph Ellison is a discussion of the myth "that he published only one book, and that his entire authority as a writer and intellectual rests on this one work." Gerald Early, writing in Dissent magazine in 1997, does a fine job of exploding this myth by showing the "historical importance" of Ellison's Flying Home and Other Stories , a collection of most of his pre- Invisible Man fiction, and two collections of essays:

But in "Ralph Ellison," due out in May from Knopf, the private papers of Ellison - who penned the groundbreaking novel about racial perceptions, "Invisible Man" - reveal his simmering disgust with the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Naked and the Dead" and "The Executioner's Song." Ellison's anger surfaced particularly after Mailer wrote an essay, "The White Negro," which used the phrase as a symbol of America's changing sexual and social climate.

Painted Voices - Ralph Ellison
A short biography about ralph ellison.
http://www.black-collegian.com/african/painted-voices/ellison.shtml

Extractions: African-American History Ralph Ellison Born in Oklahoma on March 1, 1914, Ralph Waldo Ellison is best known nationally and internationally for his work, Invisible Man (1952), for which he won a National Book Award for fiction in 1953. Ellison, a novelist, sculptor, amateur photographer, electrician, actor and huntsman, taught at several American colleges and universities. It was while as a student working in the library at Tuskegee University that he began to explore the world of literature. In 1936, Ellison met Richard Wright, who encouraged him to write. Ellison's writing career began with a short story, "Hymie Bull." It was when he moved to New York during the Harlem Renaissance, that Ellison wrote the critically acclaimed Invisible Man. Finding the stereotypes placed on African Americans in America unacceptable, Ellison refused to depict them as such in his work. At the time of his death on April 16, 1994, Ellison had not yet published his second novel, begun in 1958 and lost in a fire at his summer home in Massachusetts.
