Abstract

In Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the construction of the narrator's identity is actually closely related to how the narrator resolve the conflict between black culture and white culture. The narrator's indulgence in white culture reduces him to the fate of invisibility while his return to black culture paves the way for the construction of his cultural identity.
