Abstract
This research discusses the embracing of cultural diversity as a way to fight racism against African-Americans reflected in the selected multicultural children’s picture books. The selected multicultural children’s picture books are For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World by Michael W. Waters, Something Happened in Our Town by Marianne Celano, Marietta Collins, and Ann Hazzard, Shiloh and Dande the Lion by Ciara L. Hill, and Sulwe by Lupita Nyong’o. This research analyzes the kinds of racism against African-Americans reflected in the selected children’s book. It also explores how the authors and illustrators present the embracing of cultural diversity through children’s picture books. The writer applies the Sociological Theory of Literature by Alan Swingewood and is supported by the Multiculturalism approach. In this research, the writer found that violence, police brutality, and discrimination are the forms of racism experienced by the majority of African-Americans. Furthermore, the writer also found that embracing cultural diversity begins among the African-American community and extends to other Americans in their interracial interaction. Keywords: embracing cultural diversity, racism, African-American, multiculturalism, children’s book. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini membahas tentang merangkul keberagaman budaya sebagai salah satu cara untuk melawan rasisme terhadap orang-orang Afrika-Amerika yang tercermin dalam buku bergambar multikultural anak-anak terpilih. Buku bergambar anak-anak yang bertemakan multikultural terpilih itu adalah For Beautiful Black Boys Who Believe in a Better World oleh Michael W. Waters, Something Happened in Our Town oleh Marianne Celano, Marietta Collins dan Ann Hazzard, Shiloh and Dande the Lion oleh Ciara L. Hill, dan Sulwe oleh Lupita Nyong’o. Penelitian ini menganalisis jenis-jenis rasisme terhadap orang Afrika-Amerika yang tercermin dalam buku anak-anak terpilih. Penelitian ini juga menyelidiki bagaimana para penulis dan para ilustrator menyajikan keragaman budaya tersebut dirangkul melalui buku anak-anak bergambar. Penulis menerapkan Sociological Theory of Literature oleh Alan Swingewood, dan didukung oleh pendekatan Multiculturalism. Pada penelitian ini, penulis menemukan bahwa kekerasan, kebrutalan polisi, dan diskriminasi adalah bentuk-bentuk dari rasisme yang dialami oleh sebagian besar orang-orang Afrika-Amerika. Lebih lanjut, penulis juga menemukan bahwa merangkul keberagaman budaya dimulai dari antara orang-orang di komunitas Afrika-Amerika itu sendiri dan juga antara orang-orang Amerika dengan berinteraksi dengan orang-orang antar ras.
