An Unblinking Gaze: Readerly Response-Ability And Racial Reconstructions In Toni Morrison's 'The Bluest Eye' And 'Beloved', Lara Mary Fulton
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This thesis examines Toni Morrison's reconstruction of racial representations in The Bluest Eye and Beloved.

These stereotypical (mis)perceptions maintain white cultural dominance over …
