Peneliti menganalisis dengan menggunakan teori penindasan (ras) oleh Iris Marion Young dan teori perjuangan oleh Schneider & Schneider. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dari novel The Round House karya Louise Erdrich yang dipublikasikan oleh penerbit HarperCollin pada tahun 2012 sebagai sumber data primer dan buku-buku serta jurnal yang membahas terkait penindasan rasial sebagai sumber data sekunder.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat lima bentuk-bentuk penindasan (ras) yang ditemukan, yakni; Eksploitasi, Marjinalisasi, Ketidakberdayaan, Imperialisme Budaya dan Kekerasan. Dari keseluruhan hasil yang didapat dalam novel The Round House, penindasan dalam bentuk kekerasanlah yang mendominasi terhadap Geraldine dan juga berdampak ke keluarganya. Terlebih dampak yang ditimbulkan kepada Geraldine sangat besar sehingga ia harus menderita trauma yang berat dan mendalam dalam kurun waktu yang cukup lama. Kemudian hasil selanjutnya adalah perjuangan yang dilakukan oleh Geraldine dilakukan secara pribadi dan kelompok. Perjuangan yang dilakukan secara pribadi direpresentasikan dengan pergolakan pikiran yang dialami oleh Geraldine proses usaha bangkit dari trauma berat setelah peristiwa penindasan secara fisik, seksual, dan mental yang ia alami. Perjuangan yang dilakukan secara kelompok terjadi ketika keluarga Geraldine mendapatkan beberapa penindasan (ras) yang serupa, sehingga turut memperjuangkan hak-hak yang telah direnggut akibat penindasan (ras) yang telah terjadi. Mereka juga memberi dukungan penuh terhadap Geraldine dan juga mencari siapa pelaku penindasan rasial yang telah menindas Geraldine.
