This descriptive qualitative research is done based on slave and slavery problem in Indonesia in literary work. It is executed by using deconstruction technique, and it has the goals to describe: (1) The relation between colonials and colonialized people in Surapati novel and (2) The resistance of slave to the employer, and (3) The characteristics of Surapati novel in postcolonial perspective. The result of this research shows that the relation between colonials and colonialized people, it is between Dutch and Indonesian indigene is an unbalanced relation. Dutch’s domination toward indigene is shown through Dutch’s prejudices toward indigene, animal stereotyping to indigent, and skin color discrimination which is constructed by colonial. Dutch viewed themselves are more civilized than indigene because they have white skin color, otherwise indigene have black skin color, or not white. This point of view is reconstructed in their mind and attitude, so there is a stereotype that indigene is uncivilized, negligent, lazy, and like an animal (monkey). The impact of this domination (discrimination, racism, and marginalization) makes indigene perform resistance. Resistance is done by slave/indigene in form of mimicry, and mockery that mocking Dutch colonial as an effort to destroy their power. The mimicry and mockery show the hybrid attitude of slave/indigene, so the discourse that is constructed in Surapati novel is ambiguous. So that, in postcolonial perspective this novel can be said having ambiguous characteristics. In one side it constructs opponent discourse, but in another side it is hegemonies by colonial discourse.

Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan, secara temporal maupun permanen MHmenyuarakan ketidakadilan dalam kondisi-kondisi kolonial menyangkut penindasan sangpenjajah terhadap terjajah. Hanya saja, upaya mengatasnamakan atau mewakili suarakaum terjajah terbukti mengimplikasikan ciri ideologis statis kerangka kolonialisme(orientalisme); yakni cara pandang Eropasentris, di mana “Barat” sebagai self adalah superior,dan “Timur” sebagai other adalah inferior. Dalam konteks poskolonialisme, MH dengan sifatkritisnya yang berupaya “menyuarakan” nasib pribumi terjajah, justru menampilkan stigmapenguatan kolonialitas itu sendiri secara hegemonik.

The impact in question is the implied position of thought in the work. The resultsof the discussion show that, temporarily or permanently, MH voiced injustice in the colonialconditions regarding the oppression of the colonist against the colonized. However, the effort toname or represent the voice of the colonized has proven to imply a static ideological characterin the framework of colonialism (orientalism); ie Eropacentric point of view, in which “West” asself is superior, and “East” as the other is the inferior. In the context of postcolonialism, MH withits critical nature that seeks to “voice” the fate of the colonized natives, actually presents thestigma of strengthening coloniality itself hegemonicly. That is, “voicing” the fate of the pribumiis interpreted as a contradictory colonial flare, where the stigma of strengthening colonialityis more pronounced, which ultimately perpetuates the hegemony of colonialism.

This book explores the impact of stereotypical concepts associated with black skin color in representations of black people during the English Renaissance, namely Shakespeare's Othello (Othello), Aaron (Titus Andronicus), Caliban (The Tempest), Rosaline (Love's Labour's Lost), and the "dark lady" (Sonnets). Ultimately, this book demonstrates how Shakespeare, and texts of select English Renaissance authors, retaliate against traditional stereotypical, mythical, or colonial representations of black people -- representations stemming from distinct resentments for black skin color, hegemonic notions of black inferiority, and opportunistic ambitions deriving from collective concepts of white superiority. These very early postcolonial-minded authors foreshadow modern postcolonial philosophers as they factually assess psychological patterns associated with early modern black people who endure racial discrimination, subjugation, and assimilation. Their literature contrasts previous and contemporary colonial works which fail to reference or utilize fact over racial myth when creating representations of black individuals.

The development of a beauty standard stigma that says being beautiful is having white skin is a problem for some women in Indonesia, this is due to the construction of mass media and the entry of foreign cultures. That way those with dark or brown skin will feel insecure. Seeing this stigma, Pond's as one of the pioneers of skin care created an advertisement for their new product variant, Pond's White Beauty Skin Perfecting Cream, which shows models with various skin colors typical of Indonesian women. Based on this background, the formulation of the problem of this study is how to fight against the stigma of the beauty standard for women's skin color that is depicted in the TV ad for Pond's White Beauty Skin Perfecting Cream. Then the purpose of this study is to explain and describe the resistance to the stigma of the beauty standard for women's skin color that is depicted in the TV ad for Pond's White Beauty Skin Perfecting Cream.

To answer the problem formulation, this study uses qualitative research methods with Charles Sanders Pierce's semiotic analysis, which sees a phenomenon with three main components, namely Signs, Objects, and Interpretations. The results showed that in several scenes the advertisement gave a message that the standard of women's beauty was not measured by skin color, but beauty was based on the inner beauty or potential and talents possessed as well as a sense of gratitude and confidence. The conclusion is that this ad does not follow the construction of advertisements in general, but shows beauty with various skin tones that are characteristic of Indonesia, and wants to show women that basically all women with any skin color are beautiful.Berkembangnya suatu stigma standar kecantikan yang mengatakan cantik adalah memiliki kulit putih menjadi suatu problem bagi sebagian perempuan di Indonesia, hal ini disebabkan oleh kontruksi media massa dan masuknya budaya asing. Dengan begitu mereka yang memiliki kulit gelap atau sawo matang akan merasa tidak percaya diri. Melihat stigma tersebut Pond’s sebagai salah satu pelopor skin care membuat iklan untuk varian produk baru mereka Pond’s White Beauty Skin Perfecting Cream yang memperlihatkan model dengan beragam warna kulit khas perempuan Indonesia. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, rumusan masalah penelitian ini yaitu bagaimana perlawanan terhadap stigma standar kecantikan warna kulit perempuan yang digambarkan pada iklan TV Pond’s White Beauty Skin Perfecting Cream.

Tinjauan teoritis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu periklanan, iklan televisi, konsep standar kecantikan, dan stigma serta perlawanannya. Untuk menjawab rumusan masalah tersebut penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis semiotika Charles Sanders Pierce yang melihat suatu fenomena dengan tiga komponen utama yaitu Tanda, Objek, dan Interpretan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan di beberapa scene iklan tersebut memberikan makna pesan di dalamnya bahwa standar kecantikan perempuan bukan diukur dari warna kulit, melainkan kecantikan di dasari dengan mengedepankan inner beauty atau potensi dan bakat yang dimiliki serta rasa bersyukur dan percaya diri. Kesimpulannya adalah iklan ini tidak mengikuti konstruksi iklan pada umumnya, tetapi menunjukan kecantikan dengan beragam warna kulit ciri khas Indonesia, dan ingin menunjukan pada para perempuan bahwa pada dasarnya semua perempuan dengan warna kulit apapun itu cantik.

Erpangir ku lau is a ritual of cleansing based on Hindu Pemena teachings. This ritual teaches the Karo people to maintain harmonious relations between humans, the forces of nature, and the Creator. However, in the Dutch colonial era, erpangir lau was stopped because it was part of the worship and the practice of magic. The method used in this article is a descriptive qualitative research method that uses theory as a basis. This qualitative descriptive design format embraces phenomenology and post-positivism. This study aims to describe, summarize the various situations or phenomena of social reality in a society that are the object of research, and try to pull that reality to the surface as a description of certain conditions, situations, or phenomena. The findings obtained are that the colonial influence still imprinted on the person of the Karo people even though the occupation had long since ended. Concerning the Dutch colonial discourse, it is necessary to carry out a deconstruction practice to reverse the Karo people's perspective on the erpangir ku lau rites.

We examine the impact of class and racial discrimination on Afro-descendant women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and the USA. We focus on the cities Salvador, São Paulo, Charlotte, and Milwaukee. We find that in all these cities, more than a majority of social welfare beneficiaries ate dark skinned thus showing that both countries are pigmentocracies where disadvantage is based on skin color, class, and gender. We find that of those admitting they experienced skin color discrimination more than a majority ate dark skinned. Women in the USA are generally more likely to acknowledge skin color discrimination while women in Brazil are more likely to acknowledge class based discrimination.

The main argument in this article is that while attempting to establish a social and national unity, the Zionist movement has ended up in a socioeconomic split that lines up with ethnic rifts and a skin color divide. The Ashkenazi (East Europeans) have set up a white skin tone as the “zero point of reference” using bio-power practices in order to turn Mizrahim (Jews of Arab and Moslem countries of origin) into “New Jews” constructed in the images of the Jews of European origin. Later this practice was applied to Ethiopian immigrants. Consequently, in order to integrate “Mizrahim” and Ethiopian, Jews developed a paradoxical “Ashkenaziation” in their appearance and their practices, which included turning Mizrahiness and black skin assets into political capital.
