INTRODUCTION

Welcome to our Online Blog, 

We are five students of English Studies from the University of Lleida. This blog is from a subject called Analysing English Texts and it is a research of different types of texts about racism. 

The teacher told us to choose a topic that caught our attention and we decided to investigate and inform us about one of the most important themes of our current life. We have chosen the racism because it is a topic that we are very interested on and it is a problem that people think it is abolished but it is really not. 

The racism is the discrimination against people from different cultures. It has achieved the highest limit in the sense that people hit or even kill each other for a cause which is not really important to live in our society.

The aim of this analysis is to find out how people who have suffered from racism express their identities through the text. In order to do so, we will look through this text which was written by a victim of it, and we will study the emotions and feelings in relation to racism. 

The type of analysis that we think is more appropriate for these texts is Membership Categorization Analysis because it focuses on the type of member that a person identifies himself or herself in the society. Moreover, it is accurate to analyse how that person is dealing with other people using the language as the main element to express their identity regarding racism situations.

We hope you enjoy visiting our Blog,
