This study explores adverse effects of non-parental figures’ or other mothers’ - as I called them in this article - child-rearing methods in Toni Morrison’s Jazz. Throughout the novel, Morrison critiques the child-rearing practices of True Belle and Alice Manfred, highlighting their ineffectiveness. Similar to some other African American female characters in the text, they are depicted as ‘unarmed women’ who believe that silence and obedience are the best strategies to survive racial-sexual oppression and violence. They remain haunted by the enduring legacies of slavery and its consequences. Therefore, they compel their grandchild and niece to accept racial and sexual discrimination. More specifically, True Belle inhibits Violet’s development of an independent black femininity by instilling a stereotypical, sexualized, and racialized image of Golden Gray, a white-skinned character, into her adolescent granddaughter Violet’s mind. Alice also hinders her adolescent niece Dorcas from growing up to be an autonomous black woman by compelling her to accept the harsh realities of racism and sexism.
Abstract
This study explores adverse effects of non-parental figures’ or other mothers’ - as I called them in this article - child-rearing methods in Toni Morrison’s Jazz. Throughout the novel, Morrison critiques the child-rearing practices of True Belle and Alice Manfred, highlighting their ineffectiveness. Similar to some other African American female characters in the text, they are depicted as ‘unarmed women’ who believe that silence and obedience are the best strategies to survive racial-sexual oppression and violence. They remain haunted by the enduring legacies of slavery and its consequences. Therefore, they compel their grandchild and niece to accept racial and sexual discrimination. More specifically, True Belle inhibits Violet’s development of an independent black femininity by instilling a stereotypical, sexualized, and racialized image of Golden Gray, a white-skinned character, into her adolescent granddaughter Violet’s mind. Alice also hinders her adolescent niece Dorcas from growing up to be an autonomous black woman by compelling her to accept the harsh realities of racism and sexism.
