الملخص

English literature is one of the works of arts that influenced world literature, because of its handling of some human phenomena and topics that touch the lives of a large number of people in different parts of the world. This is clearly reflected in the great impact that this literature has on the world in general and in Europe, in particular. One of these social phenomena dealt with by English literature is the phenomenon of 'racism'. This study aimed at investigating 'racism' as a social issue in Braithwaite's novel'To Sir, with love''. It also aimed to show how racism is artistically portrayed in the events and the characters in the novel.The study adopted the critical analytical method. The themes and characters were critically analyzed to show how racism is dealt with in the novel. The study has reached several results, the most important of which are: The whole story of the novel is about racism, and conflict stems from racist acts and attitudes of the whites towards the black hero of the novel. It has also revealed that racism is portrayed in a number of different ways: the white woman's refusal to sit with the black hero in this novel 'Braithwaite' shows the seriousness and intensity of the problem of racism, the language is used as a powerful weapon to express 'racism' this can be evident through such expressions as '' black bastard'' and ' blackie teacher' which were intended to be provoking and insulting , the bad treatment which is represented in many events such as the restaurant incidents, the mistreatment of Braithwaite ,by the waiter dropping soup, and not on Gillian(who was a white skinned girl ) and the appearance of a smirk , across the waiter's mouth, shows the disrespect and intentionality of the act. It has also been concluded that the character of the protagonist is portrayed in a way that inspires strength, will power, determination and patience which can enable a person who suffers from racism to continue his\ her life without being defeated. The study recommends researchers in the field of English literature in general and in the novel in particular to study such human values as equality and justice in literary works. It also recommends that Braithwaite's works are to be part of English literature courses at the university-level. The study suggests carrying out more studies on the Braithwaite works, such as:an investigation into racism as a source of conflict in Braithwaite's works and the role of racism in characters portrayal in Braithwaite's novel ''To Sir, With Love''.
