Racism and "Stones"

Paper Summary:

The paper looks at racism in the book "Stones" by William Bell and presents the Canadian treatment of slaves from Haiti during the 1800's. It also gives a present perspective on the problem by analyzing this years NBA's MVP and the controversy it sparked by choosing Steve Nash.

From the Paper:

"Reverse discrimination is also part of this much larger issue. This type of discrimination is very contemporaneous and it is usually toward black people, although other discriminated people could "benefit" from it like Jews or Japanese and even immigrants. In the book we learn that Hannah was suspected of witchcraft, but when Garnet and Raphaella met her, they assumed from the beginning she was not guilty and that she was made a "martyr". However, if we analyze the book more in detail, we find that Hannah and her husband, Jubal, did not give up their fait and thus they were not buried in the Methodist Church graveyard."
