dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to focus on the amalgamated effect of internalized racial identity loss and sexual
violence manifested as a power tool in order to control the African American community on The
Bluest Eye and Beloved; two of the most brilliant works of Toni Morrison. The purpose is to shed
light upon the concept of generational trauma inherited by the characters and passed on to their
children fabricating new forms of oppression such as cultural hegemony, colourism and
internalized sexual malice, that the community is furthermore burdened upon within, ultimately
making them the “Other” of a society. Additionally, it will also discuss the result of sexual violence
regardless of gender and the unspoken trauma that is evidently normalized or hidden ultimately
creating double objectification of the African American community. This argument will be further
studied through the lens of the womanism and psychoanalytical theories. Therefore, this thesis will
convey how Toni Morrison created a hybrid form of post-modern consciousness on the bilateral
effect of sexual barbarity and racial identity loss that occurs heavily within the African American
community throughout generations, in defiance of historical timeline differences. | en_US |
