Invisible Man is a novel about an unnamed African American man living in the mid-20th century. He lives in the South and attends a historically black university, where he experiences racism and discrimination from both the white and black communities. After being expelled from the university for an incident he did not cause, the protagonist moves to New York City and becomes involved in a group called the Brotherhood, a political organization that aims to improve the lives of African Americans. However, he soon discovers that the Brotherhood is more concerned with power and control than true equality. Throughout the novel, the protagonist struggles with his identity and his place in society as a black man. He is often treated as invisible, both by white people who refuse to see him as an individual and by black people who want him to conform to their expectations. In the end, the protagonist realizes that he must make his own way in the world and forge an identity for himself that is not defined by others. He also recognizes that true change must come from within individuals, rather than from political organizations or societal structures. Overall, Invisible Man is a powerful novel that explores important themes of identity, race, and prejudice in America. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of race relations in the United States.
