초록
Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) as an ethnic narrative explores the memory of the African-Americans. This paper aims to analyze the work of memory of the ethnic self and the subversive revision of the dominant history in the novel, primarily concerned with the role of memory in the construction of ethnic identity, and the relationship between memory and writing. In response to the erasure of the African-American's slave experience, Morrison attempts to juxtapose her ethnicity with the official history, focussing on ethnic memory's ability to destabilize history. Furthermore, ethnic and gender issues expose the many layers of African-American experience, particularly from the point of the mother-daughter relationships and from the psychological aspect of the slave mother. Thus Morrison emphasizes that memorizing the painful past is liberating the individual and the collective of the ethnic minority.
Abstract
Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) as an ethnic narrative explores the memory of the African-Americans. This paper aims to analyze the work of memory of the ethnic self and the subversive revision of the dominant history in the novel, primarily concerned with the role of memory in the construction of ethnic identity, and the relationship between memory and writing. In response to the erasure of the African-American's slave experience, Morrison attempts to juxtapose her ethnicity with the official history, focussing on ethnic memory's ability to destabilize history. Furthermore, ethnic and gender issues expose the many layers of African-American experience, particularly from the point of the mother-daughter relationships and from the psychological aspect of the slave mother. Thus Morrison emphasizes that memorizing the painful past is liberating the individual and the collective of the ethnic minority.
