Contrasting 2 Essays on Morrison's 'Bluest Eye'
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page analysis of two essays on Toni Morrison's novel 'The Bluest Eye'—'Reconnecting fragments: Afro-American folk tradition in The Bluest Eye' by Trudier Harris posits that this novel is not only the story of destructive effects of inter-and intra-racial prejudice on young black girls , but is also a story of Afro-American folk culture in process. Susan Willis, likewise,--in her essay, 'I shop therefore I am: is there a place for Afro-American culture in commodity culture?'--addresses Afro-American culture, but she does so from a standpoint that examines its relationship to the overall commodity culture of mainstream white society. No additional sources cited.
