Marxism & White Teeth
On the other hand according to Marxism, “Engels and Marx call this negative sense of ideology false consciousness, which describes the way that the dominant social class shapes and controls each person’s self-definition and class consciousness” (P 194). In this line Bressler try to explain we divide people by race, color and gender. But also, in our society we can divides people as a class, such as high class, middle class and low class. In the novel we find two characters one is a middle class and one is a high class.
As an example we can say Samad is a middle class person. He was a scientist in his home country but now he is a waiter in England. Also, he always tries his best to keep his culture and to teach his son same culture value. We can count Chalfen’s as a high class person. Because both parent s have college degree.

Samad Manifesto
Bressler’s segment “Marxism” really conveyed an interesting depiction of what a Marxist critique of a work truly encompasses. Interestingly enough, the critique itself includes a smorgasbord (I’m very happy I could use this word effectively) of styles and ideas that appear to have evolved over time since Marx’s The German Ideology, and Marx’s and Engel’s more popularly recognized The Communist Manifesto. Most importantly in Bressler’s article is his basic summation of the underlying link between all of the schools of though from origin to present date. As he states, “Common to all these theoretical positions is the assumption that Marx, no matter how he is interpreted, believed that change for the good in society is possible if we simply stop and examine our culture through the eyes of its methods of economic production” (Bressler 201). Even further Bressler goes on to add “Marxism is not primarily a literary theory that can be used to interpret texts…it is a cultural theory that embodies a set of social, economic, and political ideas that its followers believe will enable them to interpret, and more importantly, change their world” (Bressler 201-202). In these few sentences, when related directly to Smith’s White Teeth, one could almost see Samad’s name written in parenthesis next to Bressler’s statements. Samad, a working class citizen, fully believes in the separation of his son’s on the grounds that by sending at the very least one of his children back to his native land he could invariably instill Eastern culture into their lives and establish a morally just individual and create that “change”. Though Samad obviously is not seeking to push a communist agenda, to what extent does anyone agree or disagree that such a demand for “change in their world” as Bressler defines it, applies to the character Smith created in Samad?
