Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nThis study investigates the pivotal and heart-breaking issue of racism and racial relations in the United States, mainly opposing the white and black components of the nation. It shows that despite the good principles of freedom, equality and justice for which the country praises itself, on the one hand, and the long and multiform struggle against racism, on the other hand, a post-racial U.S. is nothing but a dream, as voiced Martin Luther King, Jr. in his 1963 speech in Washington (2014). This undeniably poses a challenge that this work aims to take up, relying on Ralph Ellison\u2019s Invisible Man. It shows how the novel, intended as a protest novel of another kind, vividly illustrates the African American struggle for a society free of racial prejudice. Marked by many a setback constituting after all a ground for maturity and enlightenment, the story of the novel\u2019s hero offers insights for making the fight against racism effective. The subject matter being historical and sociological, the study is supported respectively by historical facts and a theoretical framework constituted of the critical race theory (CRT) and the theory of critical consciousness (CC).<\/span>

\nCette \u00e9tude explore le probl\u00e8me crucial et poignant du racisme et relations raciales aux Etats-Unis, opposant principalement les composantes noires et blanches de la nation. Elle montre que malgr\u00e9 les beaux principes de libert\u00e9, d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 et de justice dont le pays se vante, d\u2019une part, ainsi que la longue et multiforme lutte contre le racisme, d\u2019autre part, une Am\u00e9rique post-raciale demeure un r\u00eave tel qu\u2019exprim\u00e9 par Martin Luther King Jr., <\/span>dans son discours de 1963 \u00e0 Washington (2014). Cela constitue incontestablement un d\u00e9fi que ce travail vise \u00e0 relever en s\u2019appuyant sur Invisible Man de Ralph Ellison. Il montre comment le roman, voulu comme un roman de protestation d\u2019un autre genre, illustre avec force la lutte des Africains Am\u00e9ricains pour une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 sans injustice bas\u00e9e sur la race. Emaill\u00e9e de maints revers qui s\u2019av\u00e8rent \u00eatre un lieu de maturit\u00e9 et d\u2019illumination, l\u2019histoire du h\u00e9ros du roman offre des enseignements pour rendre efficace la lutte contre le racisme. Au regard de la port\u00e9e historique et sociologique de la question \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tude ici, l\u2019\u00e9tude s\u2019appuie respectivement sur des faits historiques et sur un cadre th\u00e9orique constitu\u00e9 de la th\u00e9orie critique de la race et la conscience critique.<\/span>
