- Abstract
- The study, entitled Exposing Racial Stereotypes in Kate Messner's Breakout, discusses racial stereotypes that occur between two different races, namely the white race and the black race. This study aims to examine how racial stereotypes occur in the selected novel and how these stereotypes affect the life patterns of the main characters in the novel. The object of this study is the novel entitled Breakout by Kate Messner. This study uses a qualitative method that presents analysis with narrative text in writing. The theory used in this study uses the theory of Stuart Hall (1997). Racial stereotypes emerge from difference social, culture and psychological in environment. In this study, racial stereotypes found that black people as uncivilized, dangerous, disobedient group, unequal, and black people as inherently lazy or unwilling to work. Furthermore, the main characters deal with racial stereotypes by maintaining opinion that black people are not always underestimated, becoming a journalist to writing about what happened in the environment with racial stereotypes, and prove that black people are not always bad by becoming successful people.
