“Contesting the ‘culture for silence’: those Arere allegory reference to ‘culture’ need get a standout amongst the majority African women persecution/Oppression. Often both men and women validate and justify women’s marginality by referring to culture and institutionalize women’s oppression. Culture is dynamic and protean not static, talking about cultural relevance in this context is derived from the desire of African women to manifest their feminine attributes and their African ness simultaneously with a call for changes in women’s conditions (Kolawole,

  • Healing In Toni Morrison's Beloved

    1494 Words  | 6 Pages

    CHAPTER-V THE HEALING POWER OF FOLK CULTURE Images of women healing ill or injured women, or of women healing themselves, have become one of the central tropes in contemporary African American women’s novels. Authors such as Gayl Jones, Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara, and Toni Morrison utilise the trope of healing to measure past and present oppressions of women of color and to discuss what can and what cannot be healed, forgotten and forgiven. Much focus is put on how healing could be accomplished. Some hurt, they say, is so distant that it cannot be reached; other hurt goes so deep that there may be no possibility of healing... some pain can only be healed through a reconnection to the African American community and culture (Gunilla T. Kester 114)
