CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND FOR THE STUDY
Racism is a major social issue. People use racial differences to discriminate. Racism could be linked to colonization in the 1400s. When Europeans colonized Africa and America, white settlers believed they were superior to other races and that it was their job to civilize the savages. Systems of discrimination were born naturally because of racial differences.
Racial discrimination refers to treating a person or group of people differently because they are different based on their race, skin color, and origins. Racial discrimination is when someone is treated unfavorably because of a particular race or personal characteristics such as hair texture, skin color, facial features, and complexion.
A state of insufficient development is called underdevelopment. Africa’s underdevelopment can be attributed to both western and African factors, and Africa is being integrated into the global economy negatively. This, along with the severe geographical and demographic disadvantages, means that an international effort of a new size is required to lift Africa out of its current state of underdevelopment. On the other hand, many of the problems facing African countries are due to internal factors, ethnic differences, and political and cultural traditions, which have made it difficult for them to build strong institutions of the type found in Asian countries.
1.2 STATEMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEM
Racially discriminating against someone based on their skin color or prejudice has been the main theme in most African works. Therefore, this study will depict racial discrimination in the book Sizwe Bansi is dead.

Explain what racial discrimination means
Describe the nature of underdevelopment
Learn about the causes of racial disparity and underdevelopment in Africa, as described in Sizwe Bansi Is Dead.
Sizwe Bansi’s Dead demonstrates the negative effects of underdevelopment.
Advise a solution for the problem of racial disparity in Africa

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE DURING THE STUDY
