This paper examines Beloved through the issue of the representation of Africa in terms of searching for the new value orientation in our era of globalization. To do that, first, the novel is not confined to the category of Black Woman Novel but expanded into the horizon of cultural negotiations between the continents of Africa and America. Then, Morrison's aspect of employing the African cosmologies as the interpretive and aesthetic strategies of her novel is noticed and then the possibilities of desirable communities are elaborated from the position of African-American women. The major symbol of (West and Central) African cosmologies is ‘a cross within a circle' which is inscribed under Sethe's Africa-born mother Ma'am's bosom. It speaks as Africa to Denver and Beloved as well as Sethe and makes all of them remember and worship African ancestors. Thus, the meaning of Africanness represented in Beloved can be defined and enlarged in the perspective of promoting intercontinental alliances against rigid racial boundaries and imagining the future of global communities based upon equality and respect.
Abstract
This paper examines Beloved through the issue of the representation of Africa in terms of searching for the new value orientation in our era of globalization. To do that, first, the novel is not confined to the category of Black Woman Novel but expanded into the horizon of cultural negotiations between the continents of Africa and America. Then, Morrison's aspect of employing the African cosmologies as the interpretive and aesthetic strategies of her novel is noticed and then the possibilities of desirable communities are elaborated from the position of African-American women. The major symbol of (West and Central) African cosmologies is ‘a cross within a circle' which is inscribed under Sethe's Africa-born mother Ma'am's bosom. It speaks as Africa to Denver and Beloved as well as Sethe and makes all of them remember and worship African ancestors. Thus, the meaning of Africanness represented in Beloved can be defined and enlarged in the perspective of promoting intercontinental alliances against rigid racial boundaries and imagining the future of global communities based upon equality and respect.
