Abstract
This study discusses forms of racial discrimination and their impact on the identities and social relationships of characters in Charmaine Wilkerson's novel Black Cake. The novel depicts the lives of a Caribbean diaspora family facing various forms of oppression in the context of modern racism. The research focused on answering two questions: identifying the types of racial discrimination experienced by the characters and explaining how the impact of discrimination affected the formation of their identities and social relationships. This study uses Fred L. Pincus' theory of racial discrimination, which divides discrimination into three main forms: individual, institutional, and structural discrimination. The approach used is a sociological approach to literature with a qualitative descriptive method. Data in the form of relevant quotations from the novel are analyzed to reveal representations of discrimination and its influence on the psychological and social dynamics of the characters. The results of the study show that there are three forms of discrimination appear consistently in the novel. Individual discrimination is evident through demeaning actions directed at characters based on race. Institutional discrimination is seen in the career and economic barriers experienced by minority characters. Meanwhile, structural discrimination is reflected in the social system, colonial legacy, and cultural conditions that shape the characters' life experiences. The impact of discrimination on identity includes trauma, identity confusion, and pressure to assimilate. The impact on social relationships is evident in strained family relationships, sibling conflicts, and closed communication dynamics due to experiences of racism that are not openly discussed. Overall, this study concludes that racial discrimination in Black Cake is multidimensional and has a significant influence on shaping the identities and social relationships of its characters.
