In literature‚ one character can impact the entire story and all of its characters. Such is the case with Coalhouse Walker Jr. in E.L. Doctrow’s Ragtime. His characterization provides insight into race relations in turn-of-the-century America.

European Validation of Slavery . In Jennifer L. Morgan’s article titled‚ “Some Could Suckle Over Their Shoulder”‚ the author says‚ “This article focuses on the way in which racialist discourse was deeply imbued with ideas about gender and sexual difference that‚ indeed‚ became manifest only in contact with each other.” From analyzing the article‚ we see that the author argues that even before the European travelers made any contact with Native American or African people‚ they already had the perception
