The first page of the novel is inscribed with the words“sixty million and more” The words undoubtedly refer to millions of Blacks who either died in the middle passage between Africa and America or suffered inhuman atrocities at the hands of their white counterparts.Even today; in 2021, 34 years later the novel was written;the world is still witnessing the brutal killings of Black men by Police. This article aims to present a contrast between the racism of the past as shown in Afro American literature and racism prevailing in today’s times.
