To study the causes of social disintegration, this research work studies the roots of social hatred, defining Racism in different forms. Racism is the mistreatment of a group of either white-coloured or black-coloured individuals in the name of differences in the colour of the skin. Racism in the era of colonialism worked on the level of physical threat but took a different shape in the nineteenth century. The topic 'Racism and Hegemony' is an attempt to study how blacks intermediated between themselves and white to make 'white man's burden' a successful story. In this process they internalized the white values. "Racism and Mimicry' shows the manifestation of those internalized values in their own practice. The Bluest Eye is trying to bring the impacts of these manifestations because of the conflicts within the blacks. The conflict among blacks begins due to the obsessive hankering after the white way of living and finally ends at the social and familial fragmentation among the blacks.Item Melancholia in Collin’s The Curse of Caste(Department of English, 2016) Thapa, UjwalThe research analyzes Collins' The Curse of Caste as melancholic expression.

It has explored the white's power exercise to redefine the black. The white reinforces power over the black and imposes derogatory images by associating with social evils to the black. The colour appearance is politicized with good and bad aspects in relation to society. The protagonist Tom is defiled as immoral and uncivilized and he is generalized to the entire black community. The white society preconceives as to the black with social evils. Due to the preconception, Tom Robinson is victim of the white society. By establishing a negative perspective upon the black, the white dominated society generates knowledge and constructs truth. The social power exercise stigmatizes and generalises the black community as inferior, uncivilized and evil. The stigma theory discusses about disability as a social perspective and race is also sign of disability in community wherein one group determines and defines other. The novel unfolds upshots of stigma through the stigmatized protagonist Tom. But the victim of stigma is not limited to the dominated black community; the dominant whites are equally affected by the upshots of the stigma they imposed on the blacks.
