Description
Seminar paper from the year 2025 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 2,0, Martin Luther University (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: "I don't see color, I see people!" The disregard for race and ethnicity and related struggles and injustices has occurred in predominantly white minds since after the Civil Rights Movement. Researchers have defined this as Racial Colorblindness. In this paper, I will explain how Ishmael Reed criticizes the idea of Racial Colorblindness through the character Princess Quaw Quaw Tralaralara. To do this, Racial Colorblindness as an ideology and the issue of a 'white' standard must be examined. A character analysis of Tralaralara will further explore her views on race and similarities to the Racial Colorblindness movement. On another note, the overall portrayal of Indigenous women in American culture will be discussed briefly.
