Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the representation of racism in the film If Beale Street
Could Talk. This film is adapted from a novel by James Baldwin and raises issues of
racism and racial injustice faced by African-American characters in the 1970s. In this
research, there are two problem formulations. The first problem is how racism is
represented in the film. And the second problem is what is the self-conflict that is faced
by Tish, the black girl as the main character as a result of the racism she has experienced.
This study used a qualitative analysis approach with a focus on narrative content, visual
depiction, and dialogue related to racism. This research method involves content
analysis and discourse analysis to identify themes related to racism in films.
Researchers used the theory of representation put forward by Stuart Hall and
Karl Marx's conflict theory to assist this research. By using library research to collect
the necessary data. The primary data in the thesis is a film entitled If Beale Street Could
Talk as well as supporting data in the form of articles, journals, books, and several
internet sites related to the research being conducted. The analysis in the discussion of
this research is to find out how racism is represented through dialogue between actors
in the film. As well as, what are the internal conflicts due to the impact of racism.
The results of the analysis show that the film If Beale Street Could Talk depicts
various forms of racism, including institutional racism and individual racism.
Institutional racism is seen through discriminatory treatment by law enforcement
officials, difficulties in obtaining adequate housing, and unfair treatment in the justice
system. Individual racism is reflected in the prejudice and discriminatory attitudes of
non-African-American characters against African-American characters. And the impact
of racism is very bad for individual victims of racism so that many experience prolonged
self-conflict to live their future lives.
