edu 3234 marginalized literature: minority groups


On August 8 2009, we learnt about marginalized literature. For me, it is inevitable for us to be fair to all. There will be groups of people which we might leave unnoticed. Surely, pity on them as their works are being abandoned. However, I think marginalized works portrays issues which will be an eye-opener to us as we have never heard or experienced such situation and this works of literature helps the world to ‘see’ their problems and maybe try to find their solution.

In the class, we were taught about the works of African American like Langston Hughes and works portrays the lifestyle of Red Indians. I find that Langston Hughes who was born from inter-racial marriage also faced the same problem as the African American. It is a shame that people tend to judge people by the skin colour. This will only bring the social gap far apart. I am worried of what will happen next if we, the people of the world still stick to that stigma. Obviously, this world will get worse.
