The Representation of ‘the Other’ towards Little Bee’s Character in Chris Cleave’s The Other Hand Novel: A Postcolonial Analysis

---

ABSTRACT

Postcolonialism is a response of a long history of colonialism. As a theory, poscolonialism is
used to interpret, read and critique the cultural practices of colonialism. Some of the issues are the
negative representations portrayed by the West to the East in many literary works, one of them is
in the form of novel. Specifically, these negative representations later are known as the Other or
Othering. This thesis discusses about the representation of the Other towards the main character
in Chris Cleave’s The Other Hand novel named Little Bee. The purposes of this thesis are to
identify the representations of the Other in Little Bee’s character and describe the way the author
characterized it to Little Bee’s character.
The research used qualitative research methodology and postcolonialism approach. Further,
the theories that are used in this analysis are the theories of the representation of the Other in
reference to four experts (Said, Bertens, Hasan Al-Saidi and Tyson) and Kenan’s theory of
characterization. The results of this thesis show that Little Bee as one of the most important
characters in the novel reflected the representation of the Other within herself. Those
representations are, different, foreign, inappropriate, inferior, irrational, passive, primitive, savage
and unauthorized. In this case, the findings show that those representations are characterized in
Little Bee’s character mostly in indirect presentation and it is found that only two data which are
characterized in direct presentation. Deeper, Chris Cleave as the author presents Little Bee as the
Other mostly in indirect representation. It is proved through the way Cleave develops Little Bee’s
character in The Other Hand novel.

Key words: postcolonial, orientalism, representation of the Other, the East, characterization
