Negotiating Race from Within: Intra-racial Discrimination in Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child

Author(s) Sonjoy Dutta Roy, Gobran Abdullah Saif Saif
Country India
Abstract The image of dark-skinned people and its implications have been at the heart of the literary works of Afro-American writers. Toni Morrison is one major African American writer who vividly articulates the issue of racism and its attendant effects on African Americans in her fictional works. In God Help the Child (2015), Toni Morrison creates a thoroughly racialized community crippled by the devastating effects of racism. This paper aims to explore the issue of intra-racism within the African American community in Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child. The study centers on the analysis of the experiences that the novel’s main characters go through, spotlighting how they are affected by the racist ideology prevalent in their community. The protagonist, Bride, is a dark-skinned girl born into a light-skinned family. Due to her dark complexion, Bride encounters rejection by both her parents and members of her community. As a result, she undergoes racial trauma that drastically disrupts the course of her life, and pushes her into the hellhole of degradation after being a successful regional executive of a cosmetics company.
Keywords Afro-American Writers, Intra-racism, Racism, Racial Trauma, Toni Morrison.
