Silent History: Prejudice of the Past and its Projection to the Present in David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars

Silent History: Prejudice of the Past and its Projection to the Present in David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars
Abstract:
Práce se zabývá rozborem výskytů předpojatého chování v románu Snow Falling on Cedars od Davida Gutersona. Jednotlivé případy jsou posuzovány v kontextu historických událostí, s cílem dokázat, že případ Kabua Miyamota byl souzen na základě předsudků, nikoli fakt.
Abstract:
The thesis explores occurences of prejudiced behaviour in David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars. Individual portrayals of prejudice in the novel are examined in the context of historical events, in order to prove that the charges, and the trial Kabuo Miyamoto is put to, are based primarily on bias.
