Abstract: | This thesis examines the critique of racism Mainstream values of American society, particularly racism, as depicted in Paul Beatty’s novel The Sellout. This novel presents the idea of slavery system and racism. By taking theoretical insight on racism proposed by W.E.B DuBois, Paul Gilroy and Henry Louis Gates, this research reveals how mainstream American culture imposes the discourse of racism thereby stereotyping racial minorities. The research thus shows how Beatty takes out the injustice of American society through the characters like Hominy, Marpessia, Ms. Susan Silverman escalated by racism and calls for the need of racial harmony to establish humanitarian values as envisioned by the architect of America. |
