[edit]Fisher was successful in both literature and medical field. During 1920s, he wrote some articles in medical journals. He mainly worked on ultraviolet rays on viruses research. He was a head researcher in Manhattan's International Hospital. Also, he opened his own private practice while he was writing his novels, poetry, and articles. [1]His experience in the medical field helped him to get ideas for his writing on mystery, for it helped to illustrate human body.[2]
Fisher started his career by contributing to his articles and to journals ,such as "National Association for the Advanced of Colored People's (NAACP)"[3] and "The Crisis".[4] His first contribution oto magazines was "The Crisis". [5]Fisher's first novel was "The Walls of Jericho" (1928)[6]. It is set in Harlem. Fisher cast all black people in the novel. He published "The Conjure-Man Dies" (1932), which is the sequel of "The Wall of Jericho". It is the first mystery that was written by a black American. Also, his most famous short story is "The City of Refuge"(1925)[7][8]
His father was John W. Fisher, a Baptist pastor, and his mother was Glendora Williamson Fisher. Rudolph was the youngest of three children.
He had met Jane Ryder who was a public school teacher. Fisher and Ryder married within a year in 1925. They had one child, a son named Hugh, born in 1926.[9]
Interest in Pan-Africanism
[edit]Throughout his career, Fisher had an interest in Pan- Africanism, which is a movement that aims to encourage and strengthen unity of all African-Americans. It started in 1900.[10]
Rudolph Fisher supported Pan-African congress participants promoted colonized Africans to elect their own governments in order to gain of political power as a necessary prerequisite for complete social, economic and political emancipation. [11][12]
Unlike Marcom X, Marcus Garvey, and W.E. B. DuBois who tried to put the stereotypes of black exoticism in Pan-African[13], Rudolph Fisher worked on articulating the broader struggle for black labor privilege, women's empowerment and gay rights. [14]
