Öğe Racism, Racial Suppression, and Dehumanization of “the Other” in Toni Morrison’s the Bluest Eye and Leslie Silko Marmon’s Ceremony(Selçuk Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2022) Zaynalabden, Sukaina; Mete, BarışThis thesis aims to attempt to read Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony and Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye by use of Frantz Fanon's theory, the Black Skin-White Mask; and Richard Douglas's Critical Race Theory. In Silko's novel, the protagonist, Tayo was described as “half white and half Native American heritage”. He was exiled from Native American society and white society. Also, he was handled unfairly because of his mixed race. There is alike tension in The Bluest Eye when Toni Morrison describes Pocola as a young girl left out by white and black communities, and how the white community has convicted a black man of self-hatred. Pecola, as a character, represents black women, and she is the embodiment of oppression and ideology. In addition, how Whites dehumanized Native Americans and African-Americans by treating them as commodities. Reading ethnic American literature through the lens of postcolonial criticism will enable us to better analyze literary texts written by African American and Native American authors. In this condition, my study aims to explain how these texts can be read and analyzed through the lens of postcolonial theory and critical race theory.
