The article studies the calamities the migrants face in western societies. It uses Frantz Fanon's ideas of psychoanalysis to critically read and examine Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake. The novel narrates the events that occurred to an Indian family abroad for thirty-two years from 1968 to 2000. The cultural clashes a newly arrived couple from Calcutta, India encounter in Cambridge, America to the calamities their children later face are meticulously depicted in the story. Most of the novel's events revolve around Gogol Ganguli, who suffers from a duality of personality and develops double consciousness because of his Indian name. The study finds that although they distance themselves from their traditions and embrace the western culture, the migrants can not fully assimilate to the white culture and eventually develop identity crises.

Ernest Hemingway's creation of a vilified Jewish character in The Sun Also Rises (1926) has outed him as anti-Semitic. His negative treatment of the Jewish character Robert Cohn can be read as an unpleasant portrait of Jews. Putting theories of post colonialism in conversation with the theory of performativity, I read The Sun Also Rises (1926) as a narrative that challenges racial stereotypes generated by colonial discourses of race and ethnicity. This study challenges any claims of Hemingway's anti-Semitism by investigating his defiance of notions of white supremacy and colonialism as inspired by scientific racism and its reinforcement and legitimization of white dominance. I contend that Hemingway's deployment of anti-Semitic language and representations serves to illustrate his recognition and subversion of the racial hierarchies perpetuated by colonialism and scientific racism. Hemingway's novel tends to unveil and interrogate notions of white supremacy and colonialism rather than to racialize Jews.

The current study tries to approach and analyse racism from a pragma discoursal perspective. Accordingly the present work seeks to actualize certain aims, the most important of which are: 1-Identifying the pragma discoursal devices study of racism. 2- Determining the major pragma discoursal devices that are utilized for launching, maintaining and terminating racist discourse. 3- Scrutinizing the pragma-discoursal strategies that are employed by racists to actualize their aims. 4- Investigating the commonest pragmadiscourses devices and strategies that are utilized in ten English and Arabic selected Media texts under analysis. 5- Comparing the differences between ten selected English and Arabic media texts under analysis in terms of the different pragma discoursal strategies exploited in these texts. 6- Developing the eclectic model for the analysis of the racist discourses of the English and Arabic selected texts. The following procedures are adopted to achieve the aims of this work and test its hypotheses: 1- Surveying briefly the relevant literature on the two fields of this study, pragmatics and discourse analysis in terms of the racist discourse in some selected English and Arabic media texts. 2- Conducting a comparison between the English and Arabic media texts under study. 3- Employing an eclectic model that is developed in the present study to analyze and scrutinize the selected texts. 4- Calculating the data of the study by means of certain statistical analytic means. To realize the aforementioned aims, the hypotheses are tested: 1-The findings of this study aid the hypotheses that are suggested for the pragmadiscoursal structure of racism, and mostly utilized in the launching ,maintaining and terminating stages of the racist discourse.

The European and African contact has been and will always be the gravest in the history of humanity. This is the result of the extreme difference in culture, religion and most of all the color of both entities. This disparity created nothing but repulsion from the European side which considered itself superior to the different other. This attitude was expressed through the oppressive channels of slavery and colonialism which fixed the European as the norm and the African as a deformity. The only option that was left for the African was to assimilate. That is to say, to surrender all aspects of his identity and embrace that of his oppressor. In return, Europe continued its rejection and inferior view to the African. Both Shakespeare and Aidoo tackle this idea in Othello and Anowa respectively. This research paper focuses on the unique view of both playwrights about the African assimilationist in relation to his oppressors and his own people. Shakespeare criticizes the European racism and presents it as the monster that changes Othello into a victim. Whereas Aidoo criticizes the African guilt in the slave trade which results into changing Kofi Ako into a criminal who victimizes his own people.

Racism changes its meaning, shape, purpose or function according to various factors such as time, place, motives, and backgrounds; among others. It seems, however, to have deep roots back in the history of mankind. Such a concept stems from a perceived difference with the other. It is fed by the feeling of being hierarchically superior in opposition to another party that is depicted as inferior. Since ancient times, racism is disguised in different forms and manifests itself on various levels. It is a truism that this ideology can be best presented via language. Due to its negative implication, racism lends itself to a critical kind of research. As such, this paper is a critical pragmatic investigation for this phenomenon as conceptualized in the Glorious Quran. Critical pragmatics focuses on how the pragmatic theories scrutinize the reflection of a negative issue in language where aspects of power or ideology are highlighted. These theories, in turn, provide the pragmatic strategies that underpin the illegitimate issue under investigation. This paper sets for itself the task of answering these questions: How is racism manifested in the Glorious Quran by the unbelievers? What are the pragmatic theories that are utilized to impart this notion? It aims at finding out the manifestations of racist ideology in the Glorious Quran and discovering the pragmatic theories utilized to convey racism. It is hypothesized that racism is realized explicitly and implicitly. Basic pragmatic theories are utilized to convey it such as referencing or speech acts. A number of racist utterances in the Glorious Quran are fetched to be under scrutiny. The analysis verifies the set hypotheses. It is hopeful that this study is beneficial to those interested in linguistics and religious studies.

For years scholars of literature and sociology have studied racism in Toni Morrison's works. Still, the theory of cultural racism and its impact on African - Americans in Morrison's Tar Baby requires further investigation, which is the goal of this paper. In this novel Morrison explores the theory of cultural racism through two main pillars of the theory: first, 'the superiority of the European culture' practiced by the whites against the blacks and by the blacks against their own race and the second is 'history' and the black heritage as a constituent element in the history of the American nation. The theory is defined and then traced through analyzing the central female character of the novel, Jadine, the African American victim of the practices of cultural racism that she herself inflicts on her black race. The conflict regarding her self-definition: birth, race, color, status, and education and her relationships with all the people who bring this conflict into play (relatives, foster parents, lovers, imagined women and real women) are investigated to understand the fact that the suffering of Black Americans continued to the present after the abolishing of racism because of cultural racism. In Tar Baby, Morrison wrangles with one of the great questions of contemporary American life: How can an individual (or a group) mediate both cultural distinctiveness and national cohesiveness in an increasingly diverse America? Evidently, Morrison has got her own objective, namely, African - American people must not abandon their ethnic heritage if they want to reconcile their own culture with the dominant national culture.

This study deals with the treatment of the ancient Egyptian king Akhenaten in the works of Savitri Devi, with particular reference to her play Akhnaton (1948), in which she associates Akhenaten with the racial creed and radical environmentalist ideology of Germany's National Socialism. The play is an example of the appropriation of ancient Egypt by different groups and ideologies in works of art and literature. In the works of Savitri Devi, a fanatical advocate of Nazism and a passionate devotee of Adolf Hitler, Akhenaten is depicted as an Aryan hero and a preacher of a nature religion. For Devi, Akhenaten is a champion of animal rights and an advocate of a bio-egalitarianism that aligns him with the tenets of Deep Ecological thinking. Devi also depicts Akhenaten as a preacher of a philosophy of pacifism and non-violence that prevented him from attacking the rebellious city states in the Eastern territories of the Egyptian empire. As an allegory of the fall of the Third Reich, Savitri Devi's play Akhnaton depicts the ancient Egyptian king as a great visionary whose life and career echo the life of her leader Adolf Hitler. As such, the play also identifies the protagonist's readiness to die rather than relinquish her faith with the author's zeal for martyrdom for the sake of the Nazi cause.

Edward Albee (1928-2016), as a playwright, indicates that art should be useful and have a message. Therefore, his work foregrounds and critically examines issues concerning the neurosis of blackness and psychological trauma. Albee uses cruelty of racism in reflecting psychological trauma and emotional abuse of American black identity in his plays. Race, social inequality, and gender still sustain to engender controversy audience consciously. Racial discrimination is one of the major issues that affect the American Society. Albee challenges and exposes the presumptive dreams of equality of American society and institutional racism. Therefore, one of the main problems of the twentieth century in America is a skin color. It affects every phase of African Americans' life including self-concept and identity which are never resolved, in addition to outlining the reasons and origins of violence as a cause of white-dominated supremacy. In his, work Albee gives different insights and meanings to those elusive dreams, showing that the consequences of such unfulfilled dreams are disappointment, despair, and death. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of psychological trauma and emotional abuse of the racial distinction in Edward Albee's The Death of Bessie Smith (1956) and its effect on the elusive dreams such the dream of turning white, liberty and equality of Afro-Americans.

With the rise of critical theories and legal regulations that criminalize racism and accentuate tolerant and liberal values, racist discourses turned to be articulated indirectly (Essed, 1990; van Dijk & Wodak, 2000; Wodak, 2008), and a neo-racist discourse replaced classical racism to be ostensibly respectable and democratic with reference to cultural, rather than racial, difference (Barker 1981; Jayasuriya, 2002; van Dijk, 1997, 2000). However, a blatant and essentialist racist discourse has found its way back to the public sphere in light of the Russia-Ukraine war. Racist remarks have been documented in different types of texts directed to the masses. Therefore, this paper investigates the discursive strategies through which classical racism normalizes its reappearance in a supposedly liberal and democratic political environment. To achieve its objectives, the study adopts the Discourse-Historical Approach (Wodak, 2008) to analyse 18 texts of politicians and media reporters and commentators that include racist and discriminatory remarks in justifying the classification of refugees into 'like us' and 'different' categories. The study finds that the racist discourse uses special rhetoric in order to adapt to the current socio-political realities by combining classical elements of racism, including those of culture, race, and religion, with spatial proximity. The result is that the close White Christian Europeans are the only social actors who belong in the in- (superior) group.

Racial discrimination is one of the public problems that emerges in multicultural countries. The aim of the current research is to study racial discrimination in Doris Lessing's The Grass Is Singing and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. The process of analysis is confined to the analysis of the racial practices exercised by white people against black people in both novels. The research method is descriptive, analytical, and quantitative using a content analysis approach. The findings show that there is a similarity between the two established systems of racism: the system of racism in Africa, and the racial system in America. Some established rules and principles are to be respected in order to keep the white supremacy hegemonic. On the other hand, in The Grass Is Singing, Lessing portrays black people as criminals and rapists, who have to be punished for their crimes. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee describes black people as victims of crimes they have never committed. Moreover, the offensive racial words in To Kill a Mockingbird outnumber the offensive racial words in The Grass Is Singing. It can be said that the blacks are seen as victims of racial discrimination and racial stereotypes in both novels.
