An amalgam of expert travel reportage, dramatic monologue, and arresting sociological critique, \u003cem\u003ePagan Spain\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a pointed and still-relevant commentary on the grave human dangers of oppression and governmental corruption.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Spain Richard Wright visited in the mid-twentieth century was not the romantic locale of song and story, but a place of tragic beauty and dangerous contradictions.
