Abstract
Racial discrimination has been a relevant topic for centuries. Throughout history, African Americans were oppressed because of the color of their skin. This was due to beliefs that white people were superior or smarter simply because they were white. This has made it extremely difficult for black people to adapt after the abolition of slavery. Although they were no longer enslaved, they still did not feel free. They still had to fight for equal rights and still had to work much harder to climb the social ladder. Perhaps racial issues seem significantly smaller than hundreds of years ago, however, awareness should still be spread for the future generations. Due to racism still existing to this day, it comes as no surprise that it was and still is a frequent theme in literature. Although innumerable authors are known for their takes on racial issues, I have specifically chosen to analyze the work of Toni Morrison. Toni Morrison had a great impact in literature, and her work tackles important aspects of racial prejudice and the impact these have on an individual’s identity.
