Book Synopsis Re-reading The Color Purple: Alice Walker's Extended Critique of Racial Integration in the Novel by : Franziska Böttcher
Download or read book Re-reading The Color Purple: Alice Walker's Extended Critique of Racial Integration in the Novel written by Franziska Böttcher and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, Humboldt-University of Berlin, 11 Literaturquellen, 6 Internetquellen entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The intention of this paper is to show and to analyze Walker’s often underestimated critique of racial relations in the novel The Color Purple. This analysis will be based primarily on a closer look at Nettie’s letters – the narrative’s embedded text that has been neglected by most of the early critical works on the novel. It will be shown that one of the novel’s central questions is: Is a progress in race relations possible? And furthermore, that Walker’s answer to that question is not at all as fairy-tale-like as many critics have claimed the ending of the novel to be. The main sources for my line of argumentation will be, of course, the novel The Color Purple 1 itself, Alice Walker’s essay collection In Search Of Our Mothers’ Gardens, and Linda Selzer’s essay Race and Domesticity in The Color Purple.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Department of English and North American Studies), course: Anglistik/ Amerikanistik, language: English, abstract: Of course, the [whites] oppress us, they oppress the world. Who’s got his big white foot on the whole world? The white man, the rich white man. But we also oppress each other and we oppress ourselves. I think that one of the traditions we have in Black Women’s literature is a tradition of trying to fight all the oppression. (Walker, Sojourner 14) (Christophe, p. 102) The question of domination and resistance has been one of the major problems in interpersonal relationships ever since. Whereas there are diverse forms of domination and oppression, the issue of females being dominated by men is one of the most crucial to Alice Walker. Consequently she focuses on black-on-black violence between the characters in her novel The Color Purple. Often criticized for not dealing with the problem of racism and discrimination of African American by their white fellow-citizens in the first place but concentrating on the disproportion between the sexes, Alice Walker aims at the creation of equality between men and women due to the fact that it is important to her to strive for a solution of the problems she experiences in her immediate environment, namely black communities, first: “I mean to deal with the guy who beat you up in your house and then see who’s beating you up on the street. (Sojourner 14)” (Christophe, p. 102). Only by solving the problems that exist between African Americans a strong community that can overcome greater issues as discrimination by whites can come into being. To create awareness of the fact that the discrimination most African Americans suffer from also exists within their own community, Walker deals with the oppression of women in black communities rather than with racism. Nevertheless there are significant similarities between racism and the treatment of women to be found in her novel. The fact that a group of human beings is considered to be less valuable and thus can be dominated by a supposedly superior group is the same in racism and slavery as in the oppression of women. The concept of a relationship between a person who dominates and a person who obeys underlies the relationship between master and slave and some of the relationships between the male and female characters in the novel alike. These parallels will be dealt with as well as with the way the female characters try to resist.[...]

Book excerpt: Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Color Purple is a tale of personal empowerment which opens with a protagonist Celie who is at the bottom of America's social caste. A poor, black, ugly and uneducated female in the America's Jim Crow South in the first half of the 20th century, she is the victim of constant rape, violence and misogynistic verbal abuse. Celie cannot conceive of an escape from her present condition, and so she learns to be passive and unemotional. But The Color Purple eventually demonstrates how Celie learns to fight back and how she discovers her true sexuality and her unique voice. By the end of the novel, Celie is an empowered, financially-independent entrepreneur/landowner, one who speaks her mind and realizes the desirability of black femaleness while creating a safe space for herself and those she loves. Through a journey of literary criticism, Dialogue: Alice Walker's The Color Purple follows Celie's transformation from victim to hero. Each scholarly essay becomes a step of the journey that paves the way for the development of self and sexual awareness, the beginnings of religious transformation and the creation of nurturing places like home and community.
