Americans as seen through the poems of Langston Hughes. The writer wants
to find out that the America well- known promise of Democracy was not
accessible to Black Americans. The analysis therefore deals with three
aspect which are the historical reason, the social stereotypes, and the
black American position in society as minority class. Later, she will
prove the failure of the American democracy through the poems as the
social commentary and protest, moreover irony on racism connected to the
actual situation of Black American as reflected in the poems. Besides
that, the poems can reveal the contradiction between American Democracy
which is based on the idea of equality among people and the existence of
racism in the light of 350 years. In order to get a clear interpretation
of the poems and do the analysis well, the writer of the thesis conducts
a library research to find supportive comments from Hughes' critics and
use a historical approach to collect data and resources which are based
on facts. The poems will also represent black voice of anguish, give
spiritual hope and encouragement against racism in order to achieve the
goal of a completely equal position.
