ABSTRACT
The main object of this paper is to study racial discrimination in Invisible Man. First of all, the paper will study the meaning of racial discrimination and its development. Finally, select three fragments from the novel to make a concrete analysis of the racial discrimination. The writer describes some similar absurd scene to show racial discrimination in American society to make people really aware of African Americans in white-dominated society. Why blacks are invisible in America? There are many reasons. First, because of the oppression of whites, then because of blacks look down on themselves, and finally because the U.S. government does not strictly enforced the law, and makes the law become the words on the paper. If blacks want to get their rights, they must rely on themselves, and unite together to fight against the force of inequality.
