Abstract
This research paper attempts to study the Negro problem of identity and existence in the postwar American Negro novel with special reference to the saga of survival and invisibility of a nameless young black man in Ralph Ellison‟s Invisible Man. The core of this study tackles the desperate quest, this man is living in a blind, nihilistic, and a racist American world, which denies his existence, and reduces him almost to a non-entity making him ever more restless, possessed and exhausted.
