Outsider Citizens examines a foundational moment in the writing of race, gender, and sexualitythe decade after 1945, when Richard Wright, Simone de Beauvoir, and others sought to adapt existentialism and psychoanalysis to the representation of newly emerging public identities. Relyea offers the first book-length study bringing together Wright and Beauvoir to reveal their common sources and concerns. Relyea''s discussion begins with Native Son and then examines Wright''s postwar exile in France and his engagement with existentialism and psychoanalysis in The Outsider. Beauvoir met Wright during her postwar tour of America, chronicled in America Day by Day. After returning to France, Beauvoir adapted American social constructionist concepts of race as one source for her philosophical investigation of gender in The Second Sex, while also rejecting 1940s psychoanalytic theories of femininity. Relyea examines later representations of race and gender in a discussion of James Baldwin''s critique of postwar American liberalism and ideals of innocence and masculinity in Giovanni''s Room, which represents the remaking of white American identity through the risks of exile and the return of the gaze.
