Toni Morrison (originally, Chloe Anthony Wofford) one of the most celebrated contemporary American writers is famous for her keen interest in the examination of Black experience, particularly the plight of Black women.She clearly portrays the tormented and dehumanised conditions of the black whose actions are defined primarily by the white world.She successfully communicates to the reader how the black woman were not treated as human beings but rather as things who are denied every political, social and human right .Through the fictions of Toni Morrison we get to understand how a Black women’s physical bondage turns into a psychological one, and ultimately how her inner world is completely shattered. Throughly aware of the pathetic condition of black women, Morrison exhibits their triple oppression of being a women, black and an African-American. Morrison displays in her novels the legacies of displacement and slavery that had been consigned to the Afro-American community. Exposing aspiration, hope, joy, sorrow and desire of the black people, she reveals their consciousness of exploitation and suppression. She skilfully employs myth and fantasy along with realistic portrayal of racial gender and class conflict to further comprehend the struggle.
