Abstract

AbstractThis study is aimed to seek how far the novel of We Cast A Shadow (2019) by Maurice Carlos Ruffin reflected the issues of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination refers to the character who face discrimination through mistreatment and violence that make a great impact in the future. The unnamed character had been through a difficult time since he was a child. This analysis is related to the postcolonial theory proposed by Pieterse and Powell (2016). The use of theory was based on the interpretation in the text and context of the novel. The data was collected from the quotation in the novel. The data collection was in the form of sentences and paragraphs. This research was a descriptive and content analysis study. The result of the study shows that the racial discrimination of African-American character can be seen through violence to African-American and arbitrary Policy on Economic Aspect. In conclusion, in this post-civil rights movement era, African-Americans still face racial discrimination.

莫里斯·卡洛斯·鲁芬的小说《我们投下阴影》中的种族歧视

摘要本文旨在探讨莫里斯·卡洛斯·鲁芬的小说《我们投下阴影》(2019)在多大程度上反映了种族歧视问题。种族歧视指的是在未来会产生很大影响的虐待和暴力中受到歧视的角色。这个无名的角色从小就经历了一段艰难的时期。这一分析与Pieterse和Powell(2016)提出的后殖民理论有关。理论的运用是基于对小说文本和语境的解读。数据是从小说中的引文中收集来的。数据收集以句子和段落的形式进行。本研究为描述性和内容分析性研究。研究结果表明，非裔美国人的种族歧视可以通过对非裔美国人的暴力和经济方面的任意政策来体现。总之，在后民权运动时代，非裔美国人仍然面临种族歧视。

期刊介绍： Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
