الملخص الإنجليزي

This thesis deals with the image of the white man in Norm and Ahmed by Alexander Buzo.

It shows that the white man in this play is a defeated not a heroic figure.

Traditional literature always represents the white man as a hero who could do it all.

But in this play, that does not seem so.

Analyzing the image of the white man in this play and comparing it with the earlier image presented in the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth century literature and up to World War II, when Britain lost its historical role as that great imperial and colonial power in the world; would reveal that the whole picture of the white man has changed.

The image of the white man in this work differs from that in early twentieth century and earlier literature when the image of the white man was represented as a hero who can conquer all, and win against all the odds.

But in this work the white man could not sustain the heroic image bequeathed by colonial writers like Kipling and Defoe.

The thesis also reflects the policy of white Australia toward immigrants.

Though, Australia is presented as multicultural society, its policies toward the other involve some discriminative features as clearly revealed in this play.

Recently, Australian authorities have been endeavoring to develop a policy of equity toward immigrants and small minorities.
