Abstract
This essay examines politics of excluding identities deemed inferior in the African American context on the basis of geography by considering the negotiation of rural people such as Trueblood in Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man. The essay considers strategies that Ellison uses to plot this character's otherness and argues that a more focused examination of the novel's rural geography is necessary to understand the critique that the novel raises of exclusionary approaches to defining concepts such as African American.
