"Representasi hubungan antara satu kelompok ras/etnis dengan yang lain di budaya populer Amerika Serikat lebih sering membahas hubungan orang kulit hitam sebagai minoritas dengan orang kulit putih sebagai mayoritas. Namun, ada peningkatan representasi di budaya populer yang menggambarkan hubungan antar kelompok minoritas, khususnya kelompok-kelompok orang kulit hitam yang beragam di AS. Walaupun representasi keragaman ini patut dirayakan, representasi ini layak dikritik. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara karakter-karakter Afrika Amerika dan Jamaika dalam serial televisi Netflix Marvel Luke Cage (2018) dengan menggunakan teori konstruksi Self/Other. Penulis berargumen bahwa karakter-karakter Afrika Amerika diposisikan sebagai Self melalui cara-cara yang menggambarkan mereka sebagai karakter-karakter yang bertentangan terhadap karakter-karakter Jamaika. Oleh karena itu, karakter-karakter Jamaika diposisikan sebagai Other. Proses Othering terhadap karakter-karakter tersebut dapat dilihat dari bagaimana mereka mempunyai lebih sedikit kekuasaan dari karakter-karakter Afrika Amerika. Selain itu, identitas mereka dipertentangkan dengan identitas karakter-karakter Afrika Amerika sehingga identitas mereka diberi kesan tidak sama unggulnya dengan identitas Afrika Amerika. Walaupun karakter-karakter Jamaika ini mempunyai agency untuk merespon terhadap proses Othering, mereka dapat dianggap sebagai “the dangerous Other” karena salah satu cara mereka menunjukkan agency tersebut.......Popular representations of race and ethnic relations in the US more often than not revolve around the Black minority-White majority discourse; however, there is an increase in pop culture media focusing on relationships among minorities, particularly the diverse Black population in the US. Although representing the diversity within Black people is applaudable, these representations are worth critiquing. This research analyzes the relationship between the Jamaican and African American characters in the Netflix Marvel TV series Luke Cage (2018) through the Self/Other construction theory. It argues that the African American characters are positioned as the Self due to how they are defined against the Jamaican characters. In turn, the Jamaican characters are positioned as the Other by having them struggle for power and contrasting their identity with the one embodied by the African American characters. Although the Jamaican characters are portrayed to have agency, the way they exercise it risks confining them to the dangerous Other trope."

By conducting a textual analysis and incorporating several theoretical frameworks, this study focuses on its mark, that is, the aim of achieving a key objective to delve into how the acts of white racism are told through the viewpoint of the African-American lead in the movie."

"Tujuan tesis ini adalah menunjukkan permasalahan identitas dan kritik sosial yang dilakukan Baldwin, yang nampak pada beberapa esai, interview dan salah satu novelnya. Dari perspektif Kajian Budaya yang mendiskusikan pentingnya wacana identitas kelompok marginal, saya menemukan bahwa kritik-kritik Baldwin tersebut mempromosikan kesadaran orang Afrika Amerika akan hak-hak sipilnya sekaligus mendorong mapannya agenda identitas. Kritik yang merupakan suatu ajakan, usulan, atau anjuran kepada orang lain untuk mencapai tujuan-tujuan tertentu telah dilakukan bertahun-tahun lamanya. Dalam sejarah orang Afrika Amerika kritik diikuti perjuangan-perjuangan sosial untuk mendapatkan hak-hak mereka dan menunjukkan keberatan - keberatan mereka terhadap bentuk-bentuk alienasi yang termanifestasi dalam prasangka, rasisme dan diskriminasi. Praktek-praktek tersebut diformulasikan dan secara tidak manusiawi dikukuhkan oleh kekuatan hukum kelompok ras kulit putih. Bagi Baldwin kritik-kritiknya tidak hanya perihal dirinya atau kelompok-kelompok ia berasal, namun juga termasuk didalamnya kelompok-kelompok yang menerima pengalaman-pengalaman alienasi yang lain yang juga menderita karena ketidakadaannya pengakuan.Adalah permasalahan identitas yang Baldwin harus alami dan coba untuk utarakan melalui tulisan-tulisannya. Adalah juga permasalahan rasisme, diskrimnasi dan prasangka yang tidak menguntungkan yang telah menjadi praktek-praktek umum dalam komunitas yang terpinggirkan yang sebenarnya turut memberi andil dalam kehidupan Amerika saat ini. Pada tesis ini saya meneliti kritik-kritik sosial yang menunjukkan alasan-alasan Baldwin akan keberatan dan penolakannya terhadap bentuk-bentuk alienasi tersebut. Tesis ini menganalisis keterlibatan beberapa teori, persepsi kebudayaan dan pengalaman-pengalam historis yang mempengaruhi pengertian bagaimana seorang Afrika Amerika seperti James Baldwin didefinisikan secara rasial. Secara khusus tesis ini meneliti cara-cara Baldwin mendefinisikan dirinya dalam tatanan sejarah yang mengopresinya. Orang-orang Afrika Amerika telah mengalami the Middle Passage, perbudakan dan perang-perang orang kulit putih. Mereka juga pernah mengalami berada pada suatu kondisi yang tidak hanya meniadakan ras dan teori-teorinya, tetapi juga yang mempromosikan stereotip-sterotip orang hitam atau menyembunyikan identitas mereka. ......The purpose of the thesis is to show James Baldwin's problems of identity and social critiques that come up in a number of his essays and interviews as well as one of his novel. From a cultural studies perspective that discusses the notion of identity in marginal discourses, I find that Baldwin's critiques promote civil rights awareness among African Americans and push forward the agenda for identity establishment. Critique as a means of inviting, proposing or recommending other people to attain certain objectives has been exercised in an inordinate length of time. In the history of African Americans, critique is ensued by forces of social struggles to claim the rights as to raise formidable objections to the forms of alienation manifested in and by, among others, prejudice, racialism and discrimination. Such practices are formulated and inhumanely bolstered by the dominating while race and their law. For Baldwin, his critiques are not only about himself or the crowds he belongs to. His critiques embrace the different experiences of alienation shared by the different marginalized groups of people undergoing absence of self-recognition.It is the problem of identify that Baldwin has to endure and try to speak out about through his writings. It is the problem of racialism and discrimination, as well as unfavorable prejudices, which have become common practices in marginalized communities, that in fact have given shapes and colors to what America today. In this thesis, I examine the social critiques in some of James Baldwin's works that display grounds of his objection to and rejection of the alienation. It analyzes the implications of selected theoretical formulations, cultural perspectives, and historical experiences that influence notions on how an African American like James Baldwin is racially defined Specifically, my work investigates the way James Baldwin engages the task of self-definition in the face of an oppressive history. African Americans have experienced the Middle Passage, slavery, and white wars. They have also endured environment denying the existence of their race as well as racialized theories that have either promoted Black stereotypes or obscured African American identity."

"If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African-American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory with a white woman. The request (and Pinkett's subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society. For generations, African-Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett's experience, sometimes hard work is not enough. Black Faces in White Places is about "the game" that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The book of fers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and chang ing the game for the current generation, while under taking a whole sale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old "glass ceiling," but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black exper ience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity. Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself. Based on the authors' considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the book shows how African-American professionals can (and must) think and act both Entrepreneurially and "Intrapreneurially," combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy."
