1 Breaking Out of the Rooster Coop : Violent Crime in Aravind Adiga's White Tiger and Richard Wright's Native Son Sara D. Schotland , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Comparative Literature Studies , vol. 48 no. 1 2011; (p. 1-19)
'White Tiger, the winner of the 2008 Man Booker prize, has much in common with Richard Wright's Native Son. Both Balram Halwi and Bigger Thomas are born into sharply divided societies where the lower classes struggle in dire poverty without hope of advancement. While at first blush neither novel fits the usual postcolonial mold since Native Son is set in the United States and White Tiger involves a native "master," in fact both novels reflect a Manichean duality of rich/master/powerful and poor/servant/oppressed.'
