Racism is very often seen in all communities where one race is considered inferior to the other, and is a major reason behind prejudice and hatred towards one section of the society. Majorly affected from this racism are African-American people who could not come out of their social and psychological inferior complex from centuries. The Bluest Eye is the first novel by Toni Morrison and it’s publication brought him name and fame globally. This novel enlightens us about the lifestyle of black people who try to personalize the culture of white people but feel rejected in every way. The fact can not be denied that none is slave anymore, and government has tried a lot to bring economic balance; however, African-Americans are still in the fight of proving themselves to be equal to the whites. The blacks have tried and are trying to be a part of white culture, but are set apart in all the ways. Toni Morrison has urged the African-Americans to be proud of their original selves and to find happiness in their own culture and color. This paper is about the struggle of the blacks to be accepted in an alien society – a society which has not accepted them even after decades.
