Förlagets beskrivning
This purpose of this thesis is to examine the way in which Herman Melville utilizes the minstrel stereotype not as tool subjugation, but as a means of empowerment and marker of identity in the "Stubb's Supper" chapter of Moby-Dick. By first contextualizing the cultural and political environment of 1850-51, the year of Moby-Dick is composed, an analysis is constructed in order to take into account the effects of personal, familial, political, philosophical, and cultural factors on Melville's construction of race in "Stubb's Supper." And by doing so, argue that Melville's rhetorical complexity in Moby-Dick should be recognized as a method of dismantling the cultural value of the racist stereotype
