Abstract

This research attempts to analyse discursive and ideological strategies used by the narrator to highlight the representation of black in the novel The Hate U Give. The narrator describes, how have blacks been suppressed and prey of white autocracy. The subsequent stereotyped racial discrimination resulted in a great imbalance in the social order because only blacks were the recipient of most of the consequences and disparities. It caused chaos in shape of protests and brutal killing of blacks at the hands of white cops. The whites constructed ideology propagate blacks as savages and radicals. The data has been scrutinized for white’s ideological unconscious fabricated attitudes towards blacks through Norman Faircloug’s Critical Discourse Analysis. The researcher has adopted Critical Race Theory of Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic (2001) and also Martinez (2014) as a theoretical and analytical framework which strengthen the analysis of negative representation of blacks in different discourses. The research has pointed discursive represented tools and whites’ idea about the differences among black and white race. It gives us how law, media reporters, police and other institutes work against black race and how they are exploited and discriminated in every walk of life just because of their black colour.
