Abstract
In the original language
This paper explores the intricate connections between Angie Thomas's novel, The Hate U Give, and the motifs of American Southern literature, particularly within the framework of social realism. It analyzes how the narrative addresses themes of racial profiling, police brutality, and systemic inequality, reflecting the historical struggles faced by Black communities. By examining Thomas's influences and the socio-historical context of Southern literature, the paper demonstrates the continuity of these themes across time.
