This paper attempts to re-articulate the double-self as dialectical existence rather than as an opposing force in Gloria Naylor’s Linden Hills. Additionally, it depicts the fight for African American identity and advances the notion of feminist consciousness. Racism is being fought against. The male characters are observed to dominate, degrade, and harass women. The work introduces the concept of sad mulatto, emphasising the significance of racial roots. They emphasised the ideas of generational continuity, the transmission of cultural values, the evolution of the heroines’ socio-political status, and the relationship between sexism and racism. The interaction between class, race, gender, and various lifestyle choices was examined. They passed on culture and contributed to preserving tradition in their neighbourhood.
