In Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel Invisible Man, the unnamed protagonist moves from a Southern U.S. town to New York City and struggles with finding a place for himself in the world as an African American man: both literally and figuratively. As many novels of the era—after the Harlem Renaissance but before the peak of the Civil Rights Movement—Invisible Man not only thematizes general issues of racism, but hones in on the importance of place to individual and group identities, and the impact of an absence thereof.
