  • Prejudice And Racism In The Color Of Water

    425 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Color of Water contributes to the readers’ understanding of the author’s subject, which is about racism. Through this book, the readers were able to see the struggle of being in a very strict Orthodox Jewish family and some of the struggles of being mixed. Although, it should be noted that this does not apply for all Orthodox Jewish families and mixed people, but does give insight to some of the possible struggles those people could go through. There were other struggles such as being a white woman in a black community during that time and being in an interracial marriage back in the 1940’s, but those weren’t as important to the story as the other issues. In Rachel’s family (not Ruth, because Ruth is no one to them while Rachel is the daughter who died), readers see that Ruth’s mom did not marry for love.

We learn through his discussion that whites have been forced to treat black harshly due to the knowledge that was given to them about the aesthetics of beauty and civility.
