Abstract:Richard Wright’s Native Son is a classic work among “protest novels”,in which the protagonist Bigger Thomas is not an “Uncle Tom” like character but a violent youth who commits crime.If violence and crime illustrate the overt protest of black people,stereotype,on the contrary,explains it in a covert level,namely,psychological level,which focuses on the perspective of Bigger Thomas to study “whiteness” by his gazing at white people.Analyzing “whiteness” through the perspective of black people presents readers how “the other” observe white people,thus it challenges the ineradicable analysis of “blackness” in post-colonial literature,and changes the stereotype black people hold in order to appease the conflicts between the two nations.
