Plan ralph Ellison's Biography Summary of Invisible Man

Systemic violence or structural violence is a type of violence that is not perpetrated by an individual. Instead, systemic and structural violence are forms of violence where social structures or public institutions harm groups and individuals by preventing the meeting their basic needs. Vehicles for this type of violence are often the police, bureaucratic obstacles (in the form of licenses and certificates which are difficult and expensive to acquire), and economic structures.
Analysis and Interpretation of Invisible Man
When interviewers and critics have questioned Ellison about Invisible Man's creation and significance, Ellison has been quick to remind them that his novel is a work of art.
Race and the American literary tradition
Instead of being a "protest novel" or, as one critic called it, a "literary race riot," Ellison's main concerns are artistry, language, narrative, and the American literary tradition.
One function of serious literature is to deal with the moral core of a given society. Well, in the United States the Negro and his status have always stood for that moral concern" (Paris Review Interview)
A major early influence on Ralph Ellison was "The Waste-Lands" by T. S. Eliot, and most of Elliot's major inspirations were white authors. Therefore, Ellison has been criticized by many readers for his lackluster support of Black literature and Black politics generally. Even though Invisible Man had been a major novel of protest in the 1950s, Ellison kept a distance from the larger civil rights movements of the 1960s.
Critics have claimed that Ellison's diminished interest in Black writing resulted from a subtle "distaste for 'ordinary' blacks" (Als, "In the Territory"). Als speculates that Ellison's lack of interest in racial politics likely prevented him from finishing his second novel. Since he seemed more interested in producing work that focused on "artistic" rather than "social" questions, he was unable to develop the more profound social concerns of his unfinished work.
