Özet

Richard Wright'ın Vahşi Tatil isimli eseri, Afrikan Amerikalı yazarların kaleme aldığı ırksız edebi eserlere atfedilen ve onlara dayatılan ırk biçimlerinin ve sınırlamaların ötesine geçmeye çalışan bir romandır. Irksal/etnik farklılıkların, sosyopolitik faktörlerin ve tarihsel bağlamların hem siyah hem de beyazların öznel konumlarını belirlediğine inanan Wright, Vahşi Tatil romanında kendisini beyaz üstünlüğün ve ataerkilliğin tecessümü olarak gören beyaz bir karakterin ahlaki çıkmazlarını ve özgürlük ilintili ikilemlerini tasvir etmektedir. Bu çalışma, iki cinayet işleyen romanın başkahramanı Erskine Fowler'ın zihinsel dünyasını psikanalitik açıdan incelemeyi ve aynı zamanda Fowler'in öyküsünü müzmin ırksal sınıflandırmalara ve önyargılara dayanan sosyal patolojilerin bir örneği olarak okumayı amaçlamaktadır
