In his first novel, Edgar Allan, the researcher found sorts of structural racism occurred in term of utterances and dialogs amongst the people in the novel. Related to the issue of racial discrimination which occurred in Edgar Allan novel, Lawrence and Kelleher (as cited in Nursani’s thesis, 2013) defined the term of structural racism as a system of hierarchy and inequity, primarily characterized by white supremacy to maintain their authority over oppressed people. In addition, the structural racism also occurs in this novel, such as in the form of aversive racial attitudes, individual racism, institutional racism, and interpersonal racism.
