Ashraf Rushdy on the Moral Authority of Photography and the Effect It Has Upon A Population's View of a Tragedy

In 1998, a man named James Bird was caught in drug pickup trucks in Texas state and was murdered. Ashraf Rushdy wrote an article to study the moral authority of the photograph and its impact on people's perception of the tragedy. Rushdie's argument was that when his Emmett Till was murdered in 1955 his mother allowed him to exhibit photos of his son's destroyed body nationwide. These pictures had a major impact on the process of the civil rights movement. Rushdy asked why the photo of James Byrd had never been released to the public and provided a persuasive answer to this question.

Ashraf Rushdy stated the new slave's story as "focusing on modern or contemporary novels, mainly the experience or influence of depiction of slavery in the new world" (533). In addition, he pointed out that they are characterized by "the role of a fictional, subject or ancestor of fictitious slaves" (533). As Walker said in an interview, Chile is vaguely reminiscent of her grandmother being raped by her white master, so the echo of "ancestral presence" has been transferred to purple.

According to Ashraf Rushdy, Dana says, "Families who solved themselves are keeping secrets about the ethnic composition of their families" (21). Racial mix of slavery was well recognized, but before she goes to the farm, Dana does not know that her grandfather Rufus is a white slave owner who raped the black mother Alice did. Also interesting is the idea that Dana should "ensure family survival" compared to Atig claiming her own continuity to the Stigmata heritage.
