Native Son, Bigger Thomas (1940) :: Michael Brown (2014) Even now, I can say honestly, especially Bigger Thomas ... there is always going to be a story of a Bigger Thomas, I think for African American males, until I dont know, maybe the next fifty years. Hopefully, itll change but its been a pretty reoccurring story ~TheWittyGirl Native Son en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Son Native Son (1940) is a novel by American author Richard Wright. The novel tells the story of 20-year-old Bigger Thomas, a black American youth living in utter poverty in a poor area on Chicagos South Side in the 1930s. While not apologizing for Biggers crimes, Wright portrays a systemic inevitability behind them. Biggers lawyer makes the case that there is no escape from this destiny for his client or any other black American, since they are the necessary product of the society that formed them and told them since birth who exactly they were supposed to be.
