초록
This paper examines postcolonial resistance implicated in geographical mobility in A Raisin in the Sun. According to the dominant ideology, which segregates spaces for black and white people and perpetuates the present space divisions, blacks are confined in their own space, the ghetto. The ghetto historically constructed from economic and social discrimination, is an internal colony which was actively discussed during the civil rights movement in the 1960s and the 1970s. In this segregated space, blacks are disempowered and exploited by the ruling group. Furthermore, blacks can hardly escape from the ghetto due to the colonial instruments and discourses established and practiced by white ruling people for the sake of their political, social, and economic privileges. The Younger family, however, does not acquiesce to the dominant ideology which compels blacks to remain in an ‘appropriate’ place for them. Moving to a white residental area signifies not their assimilation to a life of white middle class but their resistance to the dominant system which strengthens the border of the white area and perpetuates racial discrimination. By transgressing the border of white area, they redefine themselves as subjects of geographical mobility, not as objects of spatial division.
Abstract
This paper examines postcolonial resistance implicated in geographical mobility in A Raisin in the Sun. According to the dominant ideology, which segregates spaces for black and white people and perpetuates the present space divisions, blacks are confined in their own space, the ghetto. The ghetto historically constructed from economic and social discrimination, is an internal colony which was actively discussed during the civil rights movement in the 1960s and the 1970s. In this segregated space, blacks are disempowered and exploited by the ruling group. Furthermore, blacks can hardly escape from the ghetto due to the colonial instruments and discourses established and practiced by white ruling people for the sake of their political, social, and economic privileges. The Younger family, however, does not acquiesce to the dominant ideology which compels blacks to remain in an ‘appropriate’ place for them. Moving to a white residental area signifies not their assimilation to a life of white middle class but their resistance to the dominant system which strengthens the border of the white area and perpetuates racial discrimination. By transgressing the border of white area, they redefine themselves as subjects of geographical mobility, not as objects of spatial division.
