| dc.description.abstract | To Kill a Mockingbird is written by Harper Lee. This research is focused on
Southern society in 1930s , the way of thinking, and racism in Southern Society that
is represented by the novel. The character of Blacks and Whites describe the people
in 1930s and 1950s. Through Whites characters, it shows that racism is an effect of
whites’ mind to blacks.
There are three problems to discuss in this research. The first is racism
represented by the novel, world view of the author presented in the novel, and the last
is racism constructed in the Southern society. In analyzing this research, I use
qualitative research method and qualitative data. The primary data in this research are
facts and informations related to the racism in the novel. The secondary data are facts
and informations about Southern society condition in 1930s and 1950s.This research uses Genetic Structuralism by Lucien Goldmann. By applying the
theory, I analyze the world view of the author through the Blacks and Whites
characters; and Southern America society. I find the analysis that racism is an effect
of white’s mind so that racism influence the life of blacks in law aspect. Blacks cannot get justice and security in Southern America society. | en_US |
