Becca Gercken, professor at the University of Minnesota, writes an academic article for an audience interested in literary criticism of the novels Native Son and The Outsider by Richard Wright. Examining the novels’ relationship to each other and utilizing the genre of film, Gercken is particularly interested in the idea of the white gaze in juxtaposition to the "black spectacle," investigating themes of desire, agency, subjectivity, gender, and sexuality in Wright's characters Bigger and Cross. Therefore, this article will be particularly important when I make my argument about how the desires of the character Bigger may qualify as mimetic desires.
