This thesis explores Octavia Butler’s Wild Seed and Kindred from a postcolonial perspective. Two important concepts thus will be applied: Homi Bhabha’s concept of ambivalence and Edward Said’s concept of Self-Other relationship. The study seeks accordingly to unravel how the black Africans and the white Americans perceive each other on the basis of racism and slavery. On the one hand, the Africans see the Americans as cruel, exploitive, but charitable. On the other hand, the Americans judge the Africans as inferior but have the right to resist in order to reclaim their cultural identity and freedom. By analyzing this relationship, the study will show how the opposition between the white Americans and the afro Americans is not reconciled, and it has an everlasting ambivalence between black Americans and the white American colonial masters. To carry out this plan, the work is divided into three chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter is introductory and tackles the history of slavery, literature review, definition of postcolonial concepts, and the author’s relevant biography. The second chapter tackles racism and slavery in Kindred. Chapter three discusses colonial suppression in Wild Seed. Finally, a conclusion tries to sum up the main arguments in the previous chapters. |
