Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first and only completed novel by the American critic and reviewer Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man was published in 1952 and has remained very popular ever since, especially among English teachers and students of African American literature.The plot revolves around a young, unnamed black man who is determined to rise to a position of influence, but is ignorant of the amount of lying and scheming that will take. As he bounces from one situation to another in search of power, he both hears the words and sees the actions of the various people and groups who are manipulating the racial divide.Considered to be one of the most important American novels, not only of its time but of all time, it has been heralded for its portrayal of the horrific atrocities of racism and the rampant repression of African-American culture, in both the post-Reconstruction South and in New York City. It has also been noted for its extensive use of symbolism.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2017 Hulu acquired the rights to make a TV series adaptation.Not to be confused with The Invisible Man, the Science Fiction novel by H. G. Wells, much to the disappointment of many a high school student. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| Invisible Man / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Dr. Bledsoe. Outwardly, he's a humble administrator promoting Black American advancement. In reality, he is a self-serving jerk whose humbleness masks a sycophantic urge. | |

Bar Brawl | |
| Invisible Man / int_716d9138 | comment |
Bar Brawl: The battle royal, where the black protagonist must fight for the amusement of prominent white members of society, is a definite qualifier. The Golden Day degenerates into one as the mental patients overpower the orderly assigned to keep them under control. | |

Blackface-Style Caricature | |
| Invisible Man / int_9b529e21 | comment |
Blackface-Style Caricature: While renting a room from Mary Rambo, the narrator finds a coin bank shaped like a Golliwog-style statue of a caricatured black person, with huge red lips and a wide open mouth. The bank isn't commented on directly but likely symbolizes her assimilationist nature and internalized racism. | |

The All-Concealing "I": We never do get the protagonist's name. All he does use is "I". | |
