In the novel, The Plot Against America by Phillip Roth and Quentin Tarintino’s movie Inglourious Basterds the genre of alternate history is both seen and critiqued at the same time.

Simon's main purpose for diverting from the traditional format of the cop drama is to address the issues of racism and poverty, and how they contributed to creating a drug culture in the inner-city neighborhoods .

Frederick Douglass and Harriet Ann Jacobs There are those who believe in America it is time we move past deeply considering the cultural implications of slavery. Much how contemporary Germans feel in their association with the atrocities of World War II, many Americans – especially whites – feel an understandable separation from the white Americans who perpetuated slavery. Calling this fascination with the past “white guilt” and marginalizing slavery as a mistake of a much more ignorant time

In order to attain the dreams in the contemporary times, the problems of the present are needs to be addressed and questions regarding the contemporary scenario need to be asked.Throughout the book, his narrative comprises all those words and arguments which he hears from potential constituents and those ideas form the backbone of this
