    this article highlights the fact that the only effective disobedience in Invisible Man is violent disobedience, because civil disobedience never works in the novel. Whenever action is taken, serious action, it is taken with force.

    This source criticizes IM for his lack of action. It claims that his lack of disobedience and blindness to his situation ultimately parallels that of many African Americans in the early 1900's, explaining why their oppression was allowed to go on.

    Interesting read about activists for anti-capitalism/environmentalist (ignore that fact) and their conclusion that working reform with the system doesn't work. Now, they see the light, and the only thing left for each of them, is subversiveness and action against the institution.
