Description

Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (England- und Amerikastudien), course: Discourses of Slavery, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Der Roman "The Known World" ist der einzige Roman von Pulitzer Preistr ger Edward P. Jones, und trotzdem war er ein gro er Erfolg. Er hat in der amerikanschen Gesellschaft eine erneute Diskussion losgetreten ber die wenig bekannte historische Tatsache der schwarzen Sklavenhalter in den S dstaaten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Es wird die moralische und soziale Komponente des Ph nomens, wie es im Roman dagestellt wird, untersucht. Ist die Sklaverei vielleicht unter einer d nnen Oberfl che farbenblind? Welche Umst nde brachten Afro-Amerikaner dazu Sklaven zu halten? Welche Auswirkungen hatte diese Form der Sklaverei und unterschied sie sich berhaupt von der von Wei en ausge bten Form? Die Arbeit zeigt anhand der Beispiele in "The Known World", dass Sklaverei in seinen Auswirkungen keine Unterschiede macht, und in seiner inhumanen zerst rerischen Kraft alle sozialen Strukturen vernichtet und in der Tat farbenblind ist.
