Summary:Ellison’s advocacy of art against sociology and ideology is well-known. In his only novel, Invisible Man, he demonstrates that Negro writers are perfectly capable mastering the Euro-American literary tradition, and that great works of art with universal implications can be worked out of the raw material of Black life.
