The purpose of this paper is to examine the politics of racial representation by contrapuntally reading of Richard Wright`s Uncle Tom`s Children and William Faulkner`s Go Down, Moses. Part I argues that since the Civil War there has been going on the discursive contraries between black and white in terms of race. This essay problematizes the violence of representation which some southern writers did to the African American people. Part II explains why the system of representation is so significant in the fields of literary and cultural studies in the postcolonial age. It also deals with the concept of representation in relations to power, knowledge and discourse, Part III surveys the stereotypes of African American characters which the Neoconfederate writers made up in their writings. This study regards the stereotyping as a typical strategy of colonial representation that makes it possible for the white/colonizer to dominate the black/colonized through discursive hegemony. Part IV is specially focused on the contrasting of Wright`s representation of African American characters in his Uncle Tom`s Children with Faulkner`s in his Go Down, Moses. This part concludes that unlike Wright`s emancipatory characterization of black subjects, Faulkner tries to recolonize the African American subjects in the prison of language through the violence of racial representation.
