·  Capstone Project:

My research explores racism in contemporary America and discusses the elusive superiority of the West. It rejects the circulated image towards America/ the First World /the land of imperialism, civilization, and modernity as a once - a - lifetime achievement, an opportunity that is highly prized, a lofty honor, and a ticket to prosperity. My research focuses on the examination of the contemporary hierarchy of race that still creates a painful racial difference and renders “The American Dream” illusive and finally proposes that the civilized, heroic, and perfect world of the West is a faulty construct.
