This article, entitled American History X, Morrison's Song of Solomon, and the Psychological intersections of race, class, and place in contemporary America, discusses both the movie American History X, and also the book Song of Solomon. It starts by giving a short introduction of the main character of each text, and goes directly into discussing Derek Vinyard, the main character from American History X, in depth. The main point this article hits on is the unbelievable change Derek makes in becoming a neo-Nazi, and then completely straying away from his neo-Nazi ways. This point helps develop other, smaller points, illustrations, and evaluations, such as what led up to Derek's leadership in the Skinheads, the control another skinhead leader, Cameron, had on him, and the events in jail that made him disown the skinheads. After the section about American History X in the article, Song of Solomon is discussed, and the two are both finally concluded on in the final paragraph.
