Lillian Smith's "Strange Fruit"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit addresses the prevalence of racial discord as it existed more than fifty years ago; indeed, Smith could never know the extent to which contemporary society continues to struggle with racial issues she depicts in her book. The assumptions that the town of Maxwell has about black women – their capabilities, sexuality, maternal qualities – are displayed by way of defiant intolerance toward the relationship – and subsequent baby – between Tracy and Nonnie. Nonnie is treated with disdain, which is par for the course in a community that expresses such social and cultural close-mindedness. Bess, on the other hand, is embraced as common folk who know where their ethnic boundaries are. The conversations that take place between Tracy and the preacher are indicative of the sometimes-strained relationship between religion and real life, inasmuch as the preacher must speak for and advise under the power of the clergy rather than express what might be a realistic understanding and acceptance of Tracy's situation.
