The Material Dialectic A Marxist Analysis of Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson America has obviously made some amazing progress from its dull pre-adulthood before Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in turning into a worldwide symbol of ethnic assorted variety. Never again are African Americans consigned to contracted bondage or the dark drinking fountain. To be sure the foundation of social liberties has brought a superior lifestyle for Americans of various shading, yet in addition ladies and individuals of various strict convictions. American history doesn't glamorize our past offenses with subjugation, and our writing from the time lives on to tell the stories of those on the abused side of that nineteenth century division. A genuine case of such writing would be Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson, a novel set in before the war America on the banks of the Mississippi. In the piece Twain depicts the human fracture made by shading and miscegenation through the contradicting thoughts of well off landowners and their slaves.
