VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL), 2015

Abstract

American Literary stage has an array of expression. It is rightly asserted by Bhongle “Almost every literary genre is rich with new notions, and new ideologies. Women’s writings in America, Afro-American Literature, and Literature of the Immigrants Experience, and of the other ethnic groups- and the actively operating small but significant factors within these broad movements - make the contemporary American Literary scenario highly appealing” Representing principally, feminist cultural theory and ideology, this paper explores the relationship among the chief components— race and religion within the fictional narratives of Afro-American women writers; with reference to the first novel of Toni Morrison. Morrison has gained reputation internationally with the publication of her first novel The Bluest Eye. This novel shows us the terrible consequences for blacks personalizing the values of a white culture that rejects them both directly and indirectly. It also pays tribute in sheer ways to the variety of forms of society- African- American call on to resist; race and religion. This paper examines the nature of the blacks’ struggle for their Intellectual (race) and Spiritual (religion) endurance in a predominantly multicultural post colonial white America. She creates symbolic characters; the kind of people found in typical America and makes them universally identifiable. Keywords: Race, Religion, Terrible, Consequences, Rejection, Struggle
