Silence and Solidarity in Can’t Quit You Baby by Ellen Douglas

For many years it was difficult to foster friendship between black women and white women. Black women and white women share a common gray space, but the culture seems to be at the top of the hierarchy due to racial discrimination. The perceived distance imposes restrictions on two races, thus creating a quiet wall and a lack of unity. Even if compression and past injuries prolong repair that can be a genuine treatment, if women of all races gather together to form a common tie, there is still a positive view on what can be achieved .

It is not complete. Emir Durchem, sister's father, groups solidarity into two categories: mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity. Mechanical solidarity means that collective bonds arise from homogeneity of members, they are linked through common similarities such as their work, identity, lifestyle, etc. Organic solidarity is a mutual interaction of various occupations How does unity and differences arising from dependency complement people?

Mechanical solidarity is a form of social cohesion that occurs when people of society have similar values ​​and beliefs and are engaged in similar work. Mechanical solidarity is most common in traditional and simple society, such as society where everyone eats cattle and farms. Amish society reflects mechanical solidarity. In contrast, organic solidarity is a form of social cohesion that occurs when people of society are interdependent, but stick to different values ​​and beliefs and engage in different types of work. Organic solidarity is the most common in societies with complex industries, such as the American big cities of the 2000s.

Social solidarity can be defined as the extent to which social units are integrated. According to Durkheim, the solidarity problem has changed into three problems: individual subjective consciousness, they are part of the whole, the actual constraints of the individual's desire for collective interests, and the adjustment of individuals and social units . For us it is important to note that Durchem is aware of three different levels of analysis, psychology, behavior, and structure here. Each of these questions is an empirical analysis: What is the personal perception of the group? How much is your personal desire restricted? Furthermore, how do you coordinate and coordinate the activities? Every time there is a change, society will experience different degrees of social solidarity. Durkheim is not only interested in the degree of social solidarity,
