الملخص EN

This article explores the genesis of a new meaning of black womanhood in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Sula and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and Possessing the Secret of Joy.

The four novels examine how racism and sexism define black women’s gender roles, categorize their beauty and mutilate their sexuality.

However, both Morrison and Walker witnessed the genesis of a “womanish” identity which is primarily based on woman’s strength, love, and survival.

Alice Walker’s Womanism is adopted as the basic analytical method.

As a literary movement, Womanism tries to give black women the voice of liberty, empowerment, and equality in order to fight both race and gender prejudice.

الملخص FRE

Cet article traite la genèse d'un nouveau sens de la féminité noire dans L'œil le plus bleu et Sula de Toni Morrison et La couleur pourpre et Le secret de la joie de Alice Walker.

Les quatre romans examinent comment le racisme et le sexisme définissent les rôles du genre des femmes noires, classent leur beauté et mutilent leur sexualité.

Cependant, Morrison et Walker tous deux ont vu la genèse d'un nouveau sens de la féminité noire.

Le Womanisme d'Alice Walker est adopté comme méthodologie analytique.

En tant que mouvement littéraire, le Womanisme tente de donner aux femmes noires la voix de la liberté, de l'autonomisation et de l'égalité afin de lutter contre les préjugés de race et du genre.
