PENINDASAN RAS KULIT PUTIH EROPA TERHADAP RAS KULIT HITAM AFRIKA DALAM CERPEN “A BLACK-SKINNED GIRL†KARYA SEMBENE OUSMANE (Kajian Pendekatan Poskolonial)

Colonialism continuously brings about the complexity of excess either to the colonizing country or the colonized country. This essay discusses the post-colonialism effect on African society reflected in Sembene Ousmane’s A Black Skinned Girl. It tells an African black skinned-girl with her obsession to be a successful housemaid in France, yet living a life in misery and sorrows she has passed through every day as a result of her mistress’s colonial conduct. The European white-skinned woman does such a cruel treatment to the African black skinned-girl since she thinks that she has a very dissenting cultural and racial identity. Anti-colonial resistance done by the African black skinned-girl really means nothing, not changing the heart-breaking fate but her death. Not merely oppression, but also African natural resource richness that her white-skinned master and mistress have already exploited.
