| Marginalization of race, culture, color or religion has been abundant throughout history. This exercise of exclusion has developed into unnaturally natural practices that are accepted by people as a model. In the United States, as in many other countries, marginalization of and bias against some or all small minorities is a common phenomenon. Talking about racial bias in the United States, for example, should necessarily encompass talking about the American minority communities; namely, Indians, Black Americans, and Chicanos. As a counter-measure, the ethnic and cultural identity dimension in the writings of black American writers is obviously detectable. It might be attributed to a number of factors among which is the context of white domination in America. Many black/African American authors, including Tony Morrison, have addressed that kind of cultural distinction. In that order, Tony Morrison can be said to have mounting concerns over literalizing and textualizing racism and discrimination in literature and in a counter attempt is deconstructing its discourse. Correspondingly, Morrison regards the writing of fiction by black Americans as a rebirth for blacks; she regards it as a significant development and an expression of opposition and rebellion. |
