Abstract

This Final project intends to analyze the neo colonialism of United States of America (USA) among life in Afghanistan implicitly stated in The Kite Runner novel. This study emphasizes on two main objectives. First; to know what neo colonialism in Afghanistan and how do the neo colonialism done by Pashtun ethnic is said to be the neo colonialism of United State of America. I use sociological approach in conducting the study. I collect data by identifying the data, inventorying and put them in the table, selecting and reducing unnecessary data so there is only the data which most related the problems, classifying the data based on the statements of problem then put them on the table. The analysis done through interpret the data and uncover the symbol which proves the assumption. In this process, I use content analysis. The analysis involve interpretational qualitative data and will be interpreted and reported descriptively. All the data are analyzed and categorized according to sociological theory especially symbolism theory which use symbol to uncover the meaning of culture. From the analysis I can conclude that there are neo colonialism of Russia, Britain and Pashtun ethnic in Afghanistan during the time of The Kite Runner and neo colonialism of Pashtun ethnic in Afghanistan is used to portrait the colonialism of United States of America in Afghanistan. On the basis of the conclusions, several suggestions can be offered. First, the readers should know the reason and the background of what they did. They can not do something that they do not really know about it, because it can be a fatal effect. Second, the readers should look something not only from one point of view but also they should look from the other point of view to get the comprehensive understanding third Ifound that it is a good idea for the next research to disccus about hypocrisy and doublestandard as new strategies of colonialism. They can compare it with my study.
