The 1960s Black nationalist movement revived publishing interest in Wright

Evidence

In the midst of the Black consciousness and nationalist movements of the 1960s, the seemingly irresistible dictates of the market compelled the republishing of the Outsider (1965), Native Son (1966), Black Boy (1966), Eight Men (1969), and later, American Hunger (1977). They were works that spoke to a generation that Wright did not live to see but had anticipated. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 1332
