RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK MAIN CHARACTER BIG BOY IN A SHORT STORY BIG BOY LEAVES HOME BY RICHARD WRIGHT
Get PDFMasalah diskriminasi rasial memang sudah sering kita dengar karena
hal ini berkaitan dengan hubungan antara manusia dengan manusia yang lain.
Salah satu penyebab utama dari masalah rasialisme adalah migrasi, terlebih
jika migrasi itu dilakukan dengan paksaan atau tidak secara suka rela. Dalam
skripsi ini, penulis tertarik menganalisis tema diskriminasi rasial yang terjadi
pada tokoh Big Boy dalam cerita pendek yang berjudul Big Boy Leaves Home
karya Richard Wright sebagai bahan penelitian.
Dalam skripsi ini, penulis menggunakan metode kepustakaan untuk
menggumpulkan data yang berkaitan atau mendukung sehingga dapat
membantu penyelesaian skripsi ini. Pendekatan yang digunakan oleh penulis
dalam skripsi ini adalah pendekatan struktural untuk menaganalisis instrinsik
elemen seperti tema, karakter, seting dan konflik dan juga pendekatan
sosiologi untuk menganalisis keadaan sosial yang terjadi dalam cerita pendek
ini.
Berdasarkan analisis penulis, penulis menemukan adanya pembedaan
kelas berdasarkan warna kulit yang terjadi di daerah selatan Amerika dan
perbatasan yang di dalamnya terdapat suatu peraturan yang membuat warga
kulit hitam berada dalam kendali kulit putih. Terlebih adanya suatu hukuman
yang sangat keras yang ditujukan kepada warga kulit hitam apabila mereka
terlihat atau dipandang melanggar hukum. Hal itu dilakukan agar warga kulit
hitam tetap berada di bawah kendali kulit putih. Mereka tidak bisa
mendapatkan perlindungan hukum yang jelas dan nyata untuk menghidari
aturan dan perlakuan warga kulit putih karena sistem pemerintahan dan
administrasi yang ada di daerah selatan semuanya dikendalikan oleh kulit
putih. Sebagai bentuk perlindungan diri, mereka lebih memilih menghindari
konflik dengan warga kulit putih namun jika terjadi konflik di antara mereka,
mereka lebih memilih melarikan diri daripada harus berurusan dengan kulit
putih
