This dissertation focuses on the ways Morrison's The Bluest Eye and McMillan's Mama, present their African American female characters, taking into consideration the different time periods about which the authors write and whether those representations support or stand against common stereotypical images about African American women. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, this dissertation consists of four chapters exploring the Black female identities in the two examined works. Chapter two of this dissertation goes through the definitions of Feminism and "Radical Feminism," and highlights the reason behind the evolution of African American Feminism and Womanism. Chapter three examines the different portrayals of Black mothers in the two works and discusses how both authors show their characters of Black mothers as victims of the society who, at the same time, have other strong attributes; which leads this chapter to an interesting conclusion that the main mother characters in both works can be classified as powerful and powerless simultaneously. Chapter four explores the representation of African American girls in The Bluest Eye and Mama and analyzes their relationships to their parents and other siblings. This chapter finds out that these relationships are affected by the social norms of the community where the family lives, the financial status of the family, and the mother's strength. These factors also cause African American girls to take on adult responsibilities, in both novels, at early ages. Chapter five examines the relationships of African American women with men as well as those between women themselves. It finds out that male-female African American relationships in both novels are complex. In The Bluest Eye, Morrison represents African American women's relationships with men in various forms. However, no African American woman in The Bluest Eye gets involved in more than one relationship with a man while, on the contrary, McMillan's Mama shows the African American heroines as having multiple relationships with men. Moreover, this chapter finds out that the relationship between women is not presnted in The Bluest Eye as it is extensively shown in Mama where Mildred and her sister-in-law appear as more than friends.

Download Toni Morrison: A Thematic Study Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This research looks on Toni Morrison's usage of several narrative voices in her novel Home. Its goal is to reveal the impact and purpose of this novel's employment of such a narrative method. The use of a variety of narrative tactics and horrific events creates a horror universe that represents the African American community's sorrow and struggle. The current study examines how racism and patriarchy shaped the growth and creation of black female identity in Toni Morrison's books The Bluest Eye and Sula. Morrison's books depict how racial and gender prejudices influence the black female's struggle for individual identity and selfhood. These works mostly use horror as a tactic for exploring the traumatic history of black life. The study's goal is to investigate the function and relevance of terror, as well as the associated narrative techniques of disruption and disconnectedness, in revealing the repercussions of social exclusion in the texts. It is based on the premise that horror offers a different perspective on African American culture. The most disheartening part of human development and civilisation is that some of us are unable to embrace others as fellow humans. Human civilization is always divided by class, colour, and culture. Rather of embracing our differences and using them to our advantage, we fight to stifle and destroy others. Negroids were loathed by Caucasians, and the Mongoloids were continually at odds with Caucasians. We had lost our feeling of belonging. The chasm between wealthy and poor, between blacks and whites, and between man and woman is evident. Some unseen hand is constantly rolling the dice in the name of this class, race, and gender. Since the dawn of human civilization, human society has been basically split into classes.
