摘要：In modern American Drama, the playwrights seemingly have not been studying racial representations enough. Therefore this paper explores the black representation of Eugene O’Neill, attempting to help make up for this literature regret. The Emperor Jones of the playwright reveals his intimate involvement with his racial counterpart, who appears in play after play. This paper proves the United States to be a post-colonial society through critical analysis by borrowing current theories of race (blackness and whiteness) and post-colonial theory.
