A Womanist Reading of Toni Morrison’s Paradise and The Bluest Eye
Abstract
This paper studies Womanism in Morrison‟s The Bluest Eye and Paradise from the view point of Alice Walker. The article examines major characters‟ ways of developing strong identities in the face of sexism and racism. In addition, it shows that black female characters who identify themselves as responsive individuals manage to cope with their problems and eventually survive oppression. In contrast, those who defy Walker‟s womanist ideals end up being disillusioned.References
