On Racialism in Invisible Man
Abstract: The essay mainly introduced the problem of racial discrimination of blacks in Invisible Man.

I would like to take the nameless heroin’ speechless black identities as the centre in seek of the process of visibility. The essay made a deep and thorough study of the core problem of discrimination.
Key words: racial discrimination; identification of blacks; source;
