In the 1970s, black women, who were excluded from the white women-centered feminist movement and black male-centered civil rights movement, created their own movement. Alice Walker coins it as womanism in In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens: A Womanist Prose. Womanism abolishes racism, sexism, and classism. Toni Cade Bambara’s The Salt Eaters is a healing story of an African American woman and her community who experience womanist healing. The characters suffer from issues of race, gender, class, and the environment. Through the healing of the black woman, the community receives healing and restores wholeness. This paper analyzes the various types of healing of characters in The Salt Eaters from Bambara’s womanism. First, to examine the types of healing, I explain the characters with womanism to explore the suffering and healing of African American women and men. Second, I describe the mediators of healing and the integration of Third World women. Third, I discuss the meaning of womanist healing.
Abstract
In the 1970s, black women, who were excluded from the white women-centered feminist movement and black male-centered civil rights movement, created their own movement. Alice Walker coins it as womanism in In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens: A Womanist Prose. Womanism abolishes racism, sexism, and classism. Toni Cade Bambara’s The Salt Eaters is a healing story of an African American woman and her community who experience womanist healing. The characters suffer from issues of race, gender, class, and the environment. Through the healing of the black woman, the community receives healing and restores wholeness. This paper analyzes the various types of healing of characters in The Salt Eaters from Bambara’s womanism. First, to examine the types of healing, I explain the characters with womanism to explore the suffering and healing of African American women and men. Second, I describe the mediators of healing and the integration of Third World women. Third, I discuss the meaning of womanist healing.
