House of Fear. Domesticity and Community in Toni Morrison
Keywords:
African American Narrative, Toni Morrison, Domesticity, Community
Abstract
The questioning of the domestic sphere is one of the tropes of Toni Morrison’s works. From her first work The Bluest Eye to her latest novel Home, Morrison has doubted the domestic space, reflecting in it the dramas that the African American community had to suffer due to the crisis unfolding outside the domestic sphere, particularly focusing on how the women endured these traumas and how they managed to survive – or perish - through the contact with the community.Downloads
