Power and Resistance: A Critical Racial Study of Harris' The Other Black Girl (2021)
Zakiya Dalila Harris’ masterwork The Other Black Girl (2021) examines black women’s experiences with racism. American civilization is matured, yet white-black inequalities have caused it to rethink rules and perceptions. Minority ethnic groups are subjugated, but the challenges are how to achieve equal rights under racism. This study explores black women’s lives in America and the “other side” of racism. The qualitative investigation is descriptive. Delgado and Jean Stefancic (2001) study American race and prejudice using Critical Race Theory. Racism also involves exploring race and seeking equal rights. Racism also involves contemplation and “creation of resistance” against racial behaviour. Resistance production seeks power and equal rights. Delgado and Jean Stefancic (2001) defined resistance as literature, media war, defensive behaviour, solidarity of minor ethnic groups, mainstreaming of black women, and fighting racial thought. Power, equal rights, and identity can make a society standardized, according to the study.
