Abstract
This research aims to identify White supremacy in the Uncle Tom’s Cabin as a children’s literature and to understand how it is constructed in the novel as well as the danger of it. The theory of White Supremacy by Frederickson and racial differences in colonial and postcolonial societies by Fanon are used to answer the objectives. This research was qualitative in nature and a descriptive-qualitative method was used to analyze the data. The main source of this research was a novel entitled Uncle Tom’s Cabin or Life Among The Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The data were phrases, clauses, sentences, and expressions related to White Supremacy and the construction of it found in the novel. The data analysis was conducted through six steps: identifying, reading and re-reading, coding and categorizing, and sorting the data, making the interrelation between the description of the data and the theory, and making an interpretation of the findings. To obtain trustworthiness, the researcher used intra-rater technique and peer debriefing method. The findings of this research show that there are two categories of White supremacy that match the kinds of White supremacy portrayed in the novel. Those two categories are White supremacy in the religious context and in the political context. First, it can be seen that the novel depicts the desirability of teaching Christianity to Blacks and to show White supremacy through the use of religion and political messages embedded in the novel. Second, it is to recognize in what way white supremacy is constructed in the novel. The next findings are derived from Fanon’s theory of racial difference in colonial and postcolonial societies. There are three forms of construction of white supremacy that can be identified from the novel. The three categories are the use of language, stereotypes, and the symbolization. The discussion includes the implication of the danger of White supremacy in the insight of children’s literature. As it is understood from the findings that although Uncle Tom’s Cabin is considered an antislavery literary work, it does not mean that Blacks are meant to be equal and belong to America.
