The double faced ideology : antifeminism and racism in toni morrison's the bluest eyes

Abstract EN

This paper examines the nature of racial inequality in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye.

It attempts to study it in terms of its historical variations and contemporary realities that represented by the role of racism and gender.

The paper investigates how Pecola believes that racism and feminity are connected with the color of skin and whiteness.

Taken as a black writer, the paper critically studies how black women are represented in Morrison' The Bluest Eye.

The unseen struggles and difficulties which confront the black women community are deciphered.

The study is going to be based on the theories of race and racism that will clarify the concept of blackness.

It brings to light the human rights and values that promote coexistence among all people from all background and ethnicity.
