"Lewis and Ida Ellison settled in Oklahoma City in 1910, a few years before the birth of their first son Ralph Waldo on March 1, 1913. They had migrated west from South Carolina, like many African Americans from the deep South, in hopes of opportunity and an escape from racial violence in a new state not yet under the hold of Jim Crow. Oklahoma had only been a U.S. state for three years when they arrived. Before 1907, it was Oklahoma Territory, and before that, Indian Territory (1830s-1890), occupied and managed by some three dozen tribes native to or relocated to the region prior to the Civil War. "The Territory" had come to be a haven for famous outlaws, but for many it also represented possibility: a chance for new immigrants to find good work in an unbiased setting, like the Italians who mined coal for the Choctaw Nation; freedom from the status quo for those who felt confined by the social mores of the northeast; a chance for single women to own property; and space for new communities, such as the approximately fifty, self-governing all-black towns and settlements that dotted the pan-shaped map"--

"This essay collection views the work of Ralph Ellison through a transnational lens. It examines how and why this avowedly 'American' author both read widely, himself, in international literature, and has in turn been widely read outside the borders of the USA. How did Ellison's encounters with the Cambridge Ritualists, with Ovid, with Dostoevsky and with Henry James shape both the aesthetics and the politics of his own work? And what is the relationship between Invisible Man and the complex and always-evolving political and cultural contexts of South Africa, of the USSR and Russia, of Germany and of Japan since World War II? Contributors from seven different countries, based in Asia, Africa, Europe and the USA, deploysignificant archival research in Ellison's person library and in the translation and reception histories of his iconic first novel. This study of the world in Ellison and Ellison in the world initiates an important new approach in Ellison studies, illuminating hitherto hidden dimensions of the man and his work"--

Examines the religious dimensions of Ralph Ellison’s concept of race Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel Invisible Man provides an unforgettable metaphor for what it means to be disregarded in society. While the term “invisibility” has become shorthand for all forms of marginalization, Ellison was primarily concerned with racial identity. M. Cooper Harriss argues that religion, too, remains relatively invisible within discussions of race and seeks to correct this through a close study of Ralph Ellison’s work. Harriss examines the religious and theological dimensions of Ralph Ellison’s concept of race through his evocative metaphor for the experience of blackness in America, and with an eye to uncovering previously unrecognized religious dynamics in Ellison’s life and work. Blending religious studies and theology, race theory, and fresh readings of African-American culture, Harriss draws on Ellison to create the concept of an “invisible theology,” and uses this concept as a basis for discussing religion and racial identity in contemporary American life. Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Theology is the first book to focus on Ellison as a religious figure, and on the religious dynamics of his work. Harriss brings to light Ellison’s close friendship with theologian and literary critic Nathan A. Scott, Jr., and places Ellison in context with such legendary religious figures as Reinhold and Richard Niebuhr, Paul Tillich and Martin Luther King, Jr. He argues that historical legacies of invisible theology help us make sense of more recent issues like drone warfare and Clint Eastwood’s empty chair. Rich and innovative, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Theology will revolutionize the way we understand Ellison, the intellectual legacies of race, and the study of religion.
