Usnach”, by Lady Gregory, was written for the people of Ireland. Lady Gregory took it upon herself to write the Cuchulain stories as the people of Ireland knew it and not how the scholars of the time would write it. Her rewriting of the Deirdre story may have been for the people, but it was not without its political motives. At this point in time there was a need for the Revival of the Irish people and Lady Gregory along with W.B. Yeats wanted to unite the people of Ireland with the Cuchulain…

Gunnar Kaufman, the main protagonist in Paul Beatty’s The White Boy Shuffle, is removed from comforts of white Santa Monica and relocated into a foreign setting, the ghetto of Hillside. Gunnar considers himself to be the “whitest Negro” and as he begins his journey in his new surrounding he realizes how true this title is.

Bullet”, he expresses his desire for Black Nationalism and total segregation by claiming that “[White people] don’t know what morals are…so you’re wasting your time appealing to the moral conscience of a bankrupt man like Uncle Sam.” He generalizes the white population as usual due to his own negative experiences, thus asserting that the whites are morally “bankrupt”. Akin to how bankrupt people cannot repay monetary debts, racial negotiation seems to be pointless because the oppressors cannot…

the portrayal of negative stereotypes as they tell stories of violent behaviours and drinking problems. Not the positive things that Aboriginal people do. These reports of negative behaviours makes the white Australian community believe these bad stereotypes (Freeman, 2007). The negative stereotypes impact on the Indigenous community of Australia as people act rudely to them as they believe these stereotypes. They assume they are dangerous so they stay away from them and treat them badly…

this is showing how blacks struggled economically. The only way African Americans could make a lot of money was though pain and y becoming a “puppet on a string” for the white people. Every time an African American got a foot on the stair of life they would always get knocked down and out of the door. Great examples are people like Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Frederick…

Skeeter’s role as the appointed saviour to the alienated maids demonstrates my argument that white characters will often become a more central theme in novels involving black characters. If literature or films such as the “The Help” are going to include people of colour as main characters, than their voices should not be ignored in order to appease mainstream audiences by throwing in a white character and focusing on their voice. The two black characters are portrayed as challengers the social…

characteristics attributed to a group (pg. 30). A stereotype that is usually related to color people is that “black people are good at basketball”, I sometimes use this stereotype myself. When playing basketball if someone wants to play next they will usually say “I got next”; when I was waiting for the next game I saw that 6 out of the 8 guys were black, after seeing who was sitting down I saw two more black people waiting for the next game too. After the game was finished I said I was next,…

that makes a culture more easily identified. When you see a particular dance or think of it you, without delay associate it with a specific culture or group of people. For instance, when you hear hip-hop dance you immediately think of African Americans right? Let’s take this same idea and apply it to stepping or step dancing, what group of people or culture do you associate it with? I’m sure you connected it to the African American culture as well. This is right. Step dance is very significant…
