Discourse Analysis of African-American and Dalit Women’s selected works / biographies : A Comparative Study

Vrushali Nagarale

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Discourse Analysis grew out of work in different disciplines in the 1960s and early 1970s, including linguistics, psychology, anthropology and sociology. Thus this research aims at analyzing the discourses in the texts/ biographies of marginalized writers. The conversations of the characters with the people in the text reveal/ show the respect and concern by the upper class/ white people. A Dalit woman or the African-American woman has to face insults/ humiliation at home and in the society also. By writing these novels the writers have exposed the lives of the exploited characters which are full of suffering and humiliation.
