Description
(Text)
Toni Morrison and Childhood provides a critical analysis of how dyadic processes of racialization and gendering function in US society as portrayed in the Morrisonian early fiction. 'The Bluest Eye', 'Sula' and "Recitatif" interrogate the reader's preconceived ideas about African American fiction and identity. They depict the traumatic results of racial and sexist processes on African American children. Morrison's texts critique and aspire to deracinate racialized poignant Othering of children in America. And this book unveils different ramifications of the interplay between blackness and whiteness throughout exploring issues of trauma, scapegoating and psychological spaces that shape female children's identities.
