Abstract: | This thesis entitled "Racial Ventriloquism in James McBride’s The Color of Water” examines the exploitation of black and Jewish people living in America and their continual struggle for their identity as narrated in the memoir. Primarily, it investigates how Jewish people employ racial Ventriloquism to resist the forms of discrimination and to bring their voice in literature. I apply Jennifer Glaser’s concept of Racial Ventriloquism that counter against the dominant ideology and power of whites which allow them to exploit the blacks physically, mentally as well as sexually. And at the conclusion, these kinds of suppression and abuses compel blacks and Jewish to resist against supremacy of whites and liberate themselves from their suppression by utilizing racial Ventriloquism as a tool. |
