Set in the era of civil rights movement, Toni Morisson's "Recitatif" recounts the experiences of Americans through the lives of two children who established the bond of friendship during their childhood at an orphanage. Notably, racial identity and prejudice is a prevailing theme in the story. Racism in this context is defined as the perception that one's race is superior to another based on the possession of certain characteristics (usually physical) that are specific to that race; for example, skin color. This paper discusses the experimental nature of the work that exposes the racial prejudices and biasedness encountered by people of color on an everyday basis. Despite the significant progress made towards abolishing racial prejudice in the modern American society, racism is still subconsciously engraved in every individual to some extent.
