Need help with my writing homework on Racism through the English in Emily Carrs Works. Write a 1250 word paper answering; “Racism” is incredibly difficult to define the term: whole branches of colonial, postcolonial, feminist, gender and queer theory have attempted to take it on, and no one succinct definition can encompass everything that the phrase means. This essay will not attempt to significantly deconstruct the meaning of the term racism: to do so would take many essays much larger than the whole of this one, and thus it would leave next to no room for an actual discussion of Emily Carr. Thus, it may be useful to make reference to the Oxford English Dictionary's definition, simply to have a touchstone from which to move forward. The OED describes racism as “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races,” thus defining racism as primarily relating to the attribution of qualities as a construct of race. Though Emily Carr seems to have attempted to portray indigenous people in a positive light, she still resorted to racial stereotyping that fundamentally makes her works racist and self-serving. furthermore, it seems to be theoretically impossible for a colonizer to portray a colonized people in anything but an appropriative, selfish way. Emily Carr certainly seemed to be sensitive to the plight of indigenous people who lived around her. Throughout the story Sophia, for instance, she goes to great lengths to humanize and relate to indigenous people – in one instance, talking about how her friend Sophie had twins and named one after Emily – essentially become Emily’s daughter, as the story portrays it. Carr writes simply that “my Em’ly lived three months. Sophie’s Maria lived three weeks” (Carr 50).
