As a black person, Irene Redfield loses the privileges of having a socially comfortable life, having a good economic condition, and quality education. In passing, women, and men had the same privileges, freedoms, and comforts of white society.
<h3>Who is Irene Redfield?</h3>

- She is a black woman.
- She is a fair-skinned woman with European features.

Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor.

At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.
