    Background Information and Thesis When America was still in its early years, Indians had a socioeconomic status less than that of a black person -- that is unless they became assimilated tax payers. The U.S. government toyed with them like puppets for years as America expanded west, forcibly securing them in federally controlled reservations under the guise of protecting them. By the mid 1800’s, all Native American tribes resided west of the Mississippi River on reservations due to the Indian Removal Act signed in 1830. Relationships between Indians and the government had been strained at best for decades. The government didn’t view Indians as human, which, in turn, made them think they could simply relocate the tribes whenever they pleased…

    Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian touches on many issues faced by many modern-day Native Americans throughout their lives, one such issue being poverty, which appears to be present in most Indian families. The sort of poverty that plagues the Spokane reservation is the same kind that has plagued Native Americans for generations. One possible root cause for the situation would be that the current natives on the reservation see that their parents couldn’t do anything to rid themselves of poverty, so they lose hope and, as a result, perpetuate the problem. While the degree of poverty in Junior’s Indian reservation is extreme, the underlying struggles that come with such a financial predicament are to be made note…

    An Analysis of the Patriarchal Authoritarianism in the Guard/Prisoner Relationships in orange is the new Black by Piper Kerman This prison study will define the theme of patriarchal authoritarianism in the male guard and female prisoner relationship found in Piper Kerman’s book Orange is the New Black.

    Balram compares himself to a Buddha because he “has woken up while the rest of you are sleeping” (270-271). When the British left India in 1947, and everyone was freed from their “cage” (54), however, the “chicken coop” soon developed as society placed constraints on one’s actions. However, Balram, as the white tiger, becomes enlightened like the Buddha when he realized the existence and the possibility of escape from his current chicken coop, albeit with some sacrifices which did not outweigh the outcomes. After the British left, the caste system was replaced by two castes which determined one’s fate: “Men with Big Bellies, and Men with Small Bellies” (54).…

    Marco Rubis, the senator of Florida, once said “The American dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.” In some sense, Rubis’ words shed some light on the ideology concerning the American dream; people often perceive wealth and fame as the sole testament in acquiring the American dream, and due to these misconceptions, believe the death of the American dream. However, that is false.…

    In The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga portrays a gut-wrenching, vivid display of a country that is defined by the oppression of the proletariat by both the super-structure and bourgeoisie. India is a relatively new “free” country, and can be defined by three periods: the early caste/pre-colonization, the British rule/colonization, and Western globalization/post-colonization. During the last period, an economy based in capitalism grew from the ashes of the previous British colonization where a vacuum for power was left after India received freedom from their previous oppressors. However, a transition into running their own country saw a government that only cared about making the rich, richer put into place, therefore further suppressing the proletariat,…

In Octavio Paz’s, In Light of India, he makes note of the striking similarities of India and Mexico but first, points to their inversion of creation. Paz, on Mexico, claims “the pre-Hispanic civilization was destroyed, and what survives are its remnants: in India, the ancient civilization is a reality that encompasses and permeates all aspects of life” (pg. 80).…
