Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” (1925-1926) is one of the most horrifying statements of his anti-Semitic thought and the policies most inspired by that which the Nazi regime would carry out. Prejudice system is the main concept around which this book is based and is employed by Hitler as the basis of his superior race theories, hatred for Jews, and territorial expansionism.
Specified Racial Thoughts in “Mein Kampfff”
1. Racism and Aryan Supremacy
That true he presents a clear racial structure known to contemporary world, placing dominion of all races in the Aryans, mainly Germans as the “master race”. He defines them as being superior culturally and ethnically and biologically as well as being preordained to govern.
From this concept of the pure race he derives his call for eugenics, a strict segregation of the Aryan race, as well as the extermination of those he considers to be sub-human.
2. Antisemitism
The war against the Jews occupies a great portion of the book, this is the main topic of “Mein Kampf”. To Hitler, Jews are the worst form of racial enemies since they are accused of all the political, economic and the cultural crises in Germany.
As most scholars of early 20th century would agree, he propounds the idea that Jews are conspiring to poison the Aryan race, and taking over the world. These groundless conspiracy theories are ideology of the Holos-code itself.
3. Social Darwinism
– Hitler distorts Social Darwinism further arguing that race struggle is characteristic of the history of humanity. He regards this as a reason for war and the annexation of foreign territories and the enslavement, or outright elimination, of supposedly ‘inferior’ races.
He also painted Slavs, Roma and others as enemies who would cease Germany’s progress.
4. Increase of People (Bevölkerungsanstieg)
He ties racism to his idea of ‘Lebensraum’ an ideology that supports the invasion of the East with the aim of providing the Aryan German with land. In this regard, he seeks to replace or wipe out the so-called inferior races of people, the indigenous people.
Power of Racism within “Mein Kampf”
See lessThe racist notions contained within “Mein Kampf” were immediately reflected in the policies of the National Socialists under Hitler’s regime. These resulted in organized oppression and slaughter of millions of Jews, Roma, disabled people, and several other marginalized communities in the course of the Holocaust. In addition, the aggressive expansionism fueled by the degree of book ideology was responsible for triggering the outbreaks of World War II, and hence, it spread much suffering across the globe.

Black authors came forward and challenged the white stereotype after the outbreak of the Harlem Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement of African-Americans that took place in Harlem, New York City. Harlem became the symbolic capital of this movement.
Black authors showed the scope of how blacks were portrayed in history. Authors like Claude McKay, Marlon James, and Jamaica Kincaid are known for their works on cultural representation. Most of their works deal with various voices of Blacks, colonial imperialism, gender, and sexuality.
Writers like Jacobs and Douglass expressed the American’s Black oppression, violence, trauma, and slavery. For his writings on the slavery narrative, Phillips Wheatley, the father of African-American literature, was well recognised.
Apart from slavery and cultural oppression, black authors like Sam Selvon, Louise Bennett, and E.R. Braithwaite wrote about racist immigration laws and the political and economic challenges of immigrants from the Caribbean in post-colonial Britain.
Black literature is expressed in the form of storytelling, through which the black authors helped the world understand the Black’s identity, experiences, suffering, challenges, and triumphs against White stereotypes.
As per the proverb, “Pen is mightier than sword,” the black authors used the path of literature to provoke the thought of independence and freedom. Along with that, they also challenged the White stereotype and promoted cultural awareness.
