| dc.description.abstract | Racism against the blacks has been a recurrent theme in the writings of African American writers. However, many white American novelists have tackled this issue and strongly defended the rights of the blacks to have a voice of their own in the American racist society. This thesis examines the issue of racism and whether it is an innate quality or required prejudice through the role of society in developing the human being's personality in the work of the white American novelist Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The study also suggests that racial discrimination is an ongoing issue in the American society because since the society is in constant transformation, black-whites relations also get affected in response to temporal and spatial conditions. The historical and the socio-cultural approach try to identify the different factors behind the harsh treatment of the blacks by the mainstream white culture. Because of their physical appearance, mainly of their skin colour, the blacks were victims of the white supremacy. They suffered from ill treatment and discriminated laws that helped to immense their misery. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird presented the misery of the blacks through the injustice trail of a black man. This black man accused falsely of raping a white woman and he faced racism because of his skin colour. | ar |
