Racism: As in many of Grisham’s books, racism is a
strong theme in The Chamber. When the story starts in
1967, the southern United States is steeped in racism
and segregation. The Ku Klux Klan is a dominant force
in the region. Sam’s father was a member of the Ku Klux
Klan and therefore Sam was brought up to be a racist,
never having an opportunity to experience any other way
of life. Through his main character, attorney Adam Hall,
Grisham questions whether Sam is entirely to blame for
his actions, or if his environment was responsible for
molding him into the man he eventually became. It is a
difficult and important question—and one that can be
asked about many racially motivated crimes that have been
committed in the southern United States over the years.
