Theme and Irony in the story Everything that Rises Must Converge

The story is about racial prejudices prevalent-ed in the south America in 1960. There is assimilation and racial integration on paper but in reality, there is still discrimination in the society and people’s heart. People don’t speak about racism but it is inside their head.

The story shows the context of middle class white American people. They pretend to be selfless but in reality racism is hidden inside their brain. It comes outside in different forms. It is shown in the story with the help of Julian’s mother. Julian wants and supports social integration but his mother pretends to follow it.

It proves ironical condition in the society. Julian’s mother belong to typical example of 1960’s woman. She belonged to a white wealthy family. Her family used to own slaves. She had luxurious mansion in the past.
