Abstract
Native Americans, African Americans, and Australian Aboriginal people have all experienced injustice throughout the past centuries. This thesis explores three prominent works, each belonging to one respective ethnic group – Evelina Zuni Lucero’s Night Sky, Morning Star (2000), Angie Thomas’s The Hate U Give (2017), and Doris Pilkington Garimara’s Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence (1996). It argues that these literary works are representative of the human rights genre as they all aim to give voice to the oppressed and harness the power of storytelling to rewrite history, heal traumas, and make changes in contemporary local and global societies. All three texts address the issues of social inequality and institutionalized racism. Whereas Night Sky, Morning Star and The Hate U Give explore racial disparity, discrimination, and profiling in the contemporary U.S. context, Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence revisits history by recounting the devastating effects of colonisation on Indigenous Australians, focusing on the Australian government’s policy of forced removal of “half-caste” children from their Aboriginal families. Using a comparative and contextual approach, the paper maintains that all three ethnic groups discussed share a history of oppression and marginalization within the dominant settler society and that literature is a powerful tool for these minority groups to assert their sovereignty and attain racial justice, equality, and human rights.
