A HISTORICAL VIEW TO THE CONCEPT OF RACISM

Abstract

Abstract When looking at the historical process, intercommunal conflicts are unavoidable practically everywhere in the world, and this process has occurred in America, which is home to many distinct communities. On the basis of these conflicts; there are reasons such as language, religion, race, cultural difference, economy. These causes persist as a social problem, as do a slew of other offensive and degrading practices that some populations are still subjected to. These activities, which manifest as racism, discrimination, and otherization, establish a battleground throughout time and give rise to a slew of new phenomena. In this context, the aim of this study is to bring an analytical view to the concept of Racism in the History of American Literature. For this, initially, the term racism will be defined and supported with quotations by providing information about it. Racism is a complicated phenomena that is not only related to race, but also involves numerous aspects and activities that provoke many arguments. Following that, information about the historical process of racism will be provided, as well as racial discriminatory practices. Key Words: Race, Discrimination, Racism, Otherization, American Literature
