This book is based on a study of the pathetic lives of the African- Americans especially women and children as depicted by the African- American femals novalist Toni Morrison in the Bluest Eye (1970). The oppressive societal normas based on racism, class and genders discrimination are representative of the widespread darkness in their outer world. The Blacks internalize reacism accepting whiteness as the standard of beauty and intelligence. This dependence on the others for determining self-worth dooms their lives.
