This thesis presents Harper Lee’s view about prejudice, race racism and cultural clashes of social life in To Kill A Mockingbird. The aim of the thesis is to analyze deeply about the concept of prejudice and racism and cultural clashes of Harper Lee from the point of view of Scout as the main character in this novel. The discussion began by analyzing intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The intrinsic elements novel such as character and characterization, conflict and setting and the extrinsic element taken from the social conflict America at glance in 1930s. From the intrinsic and extrinsic elements, the reflection of Harper Lee’s view a struggle of a white man who defend a nigger which is in that time defending nigger such a disgrace for white people from the social judgments. The methods used are library research method and approach. The library research method is to gain information related to discussion. The approaches used here are structural and sociological approach. Structural approach is used to analyze character and characterization, setting, conflict, while sociological approach was applied to analyze Racial Prejudice in this novel. The result of the analysis shows that Scout as the main character is described as a person who is naïve, understanding girl, smart, emotional, lovely. She experiences the internal conflict, person against herself. The external conflict overwhelm Scout against some others characters and the society. In this novel Harper Lee’s shows her point of view on prejudice ,racism and cultural anarchy. She tries to tell people in the novel if Alabama in 1930s was full of prejudice and racism action from white people to black people. So, because of the prejudice black people always become the victim or person that blamed as a criminal when there was a case between white and black before or after the court. And the way the mocking voice of race people were sung by the narration of Harper Lee through her novel To Kill A Mockingbird.

To discuss race and class issues in America is to venture into an area fraught with perils. It may well be that “class and racial discrimination at a workplace or on the streets” are the toughest, slipperiest opponents in the lexicon of American history. But failure to consider racial discrimination in our society will contribute to what I will call sentimental solidarity in the midst of diversity. The relationship between segregation, black political experiences, and civic culture in urban America is neither simple nor straightforward. And this is what the two books we are analyzing today seems to address. The two books that set the context of today’s discussion are To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman. Where does Ohio come into this, especially between 1933 and 1955 when the To Kill a Mockingbird was written? Does Go Set a Watchman advance the argument or bring to the table those issues better than To Kill a Mockingbird making the publisher reject the manuscript when Harper Lee first wrote it?

Abstract Through a narrative analysis of movies confronting issues of race and racism in the post-civil rights era, we suggest that the movie To Kill a Mockingbird ushered in a new genre for movies about race which presented an image of a white male hero, or perhaps savior, for the black community. We suggest that this genre outlasted the era of the Civil Rights Movement and continues to impact popular cultural discourses about race in post-civil rights America. Post-civil rights films share the central elements of the anti-racist white male hero genre, but they also provide a plot twist that simultaneously highlights the racial innocence of the central characters and reinforces the ideology of liberal individualism. Reading these films ...
