Abstract

In this paper, the researcher seeks to understand black women's experiences of
1
discrimination in Toni Morrison's novels. The analysis focused on the ways in which
Morrison's work highlights the intersectional nature of oppression, black women
facing gender and racial discrimination.
This study is a qualitative research where the main data is the discourse reflected in
the dialog of the literary works written by Toni Morrison. The discourse is analysed
using black feminist theory. By using the theoretical framework, the researcher will
37
find out how black women actually face the discrimination they experience.
The results show that Morrison's works depict black women as victims of gender and
racial discrimination. They experience physical and sexual violence, marginalization,
exploitation, and cultural imperialism. The novels also highlight the ways in which
black women resist all forms of oppression through acts of rebellion and self�empowerment. Morrison's works provide a powerful representation of the struggles
and experiences of black women in a society dominated by white patriarchy. The
87
novels are a testament to the resilience and strength of black women in the face of
74
discrimination and violence, as well as a critique of societal norms that perpetuate
forms of oppression.
