This paper aims to elucidate Toni Morrison’s New Black Aesthetics embodied in her most recent novel God Help The Child in 2015. The main character in this novel, Bride, is unique in terms of a highly self-esteemed and dignified individual and a good member of society. I attempt to shed light on the issue of what I envision to be Toni Morrison’s New Black Aesthetics with the main character differentiated from her previous works. The issue that I pursue through this novel is New Black Aesthetics as a topic suggesting positivity and harmony in the multiracial society, going beyond the recognition of black identity and beauty. Underneath her stunning career woman, Bride is a traumatized person rejected by her light-skinned mother, Sweetness. Toni Morrison delineates her characters’ painful traumatized stories of child abuse and skin privileges so that they can break their silence and speak their unspeakable things to move forward. In this regard, Toni Morrison instills her new paradigm, the New Black Aesthetics of positivity and harmony, as a good member of the diversified society to everyone including the African American. From this perspective, I argue that Toni Morrison embodies the New Black Aesthetics in God Help The Child.
Abstract
This paper aims to elucidate Toni Morrison’s New Black Aesthetics embodied in her most recent novel God Help The Child in 2015. The main character in this novel, Bride, is unique in terms of a highly self-esteemed and dignified individual and a good member of society. I attempt to shed light on the issue of what I envision to be Toni Morrison’s New Black Aesthetics with the main character differentiated from her previous works. The issue that I pursue through this novel is New Black Aesthetics as a topic suggesting positivity and harmony in the multiracial society, going beyond the recognition of black identity and beauty. Underneath her stunning career woman, Bride is a traumatized person rejected by her light-skinned mother, Sweetness. Toni Morrison delineates her characters’ painful traumatized stories of child abuse and skin privileges so that they can break their silence and speak their unspeakable things to move forward. In this regard, Toni Morrison instills her new paradigm, the New Black Aesthetics of positivity and harmony, as a good member of the diversified society to everyone including the African American. From this perspective, I argue that Toni Morrison embodies the New Black Aesthetics in God Help The Child.
