Violence And Women Resilience In Alice Walker's The Color Purple

Résumé: Instead of coexisting with the differences of gender, class and race and relishing them to the favor and improvement of the world, the quarrel is rather on how to stifle individuals with the same differences; black women were unacknowledged of in both: white society and feminist theoretical analysis and criticism. Black men were as much brutal to them as the white society. When black people were talked about it definitely meant men, and if women were brought into discussion, then it was absolutely white women. In stark contrast to the novels of black men who are obsessed by the white man, as the main obstacle to their manhood, black women had a different ax to grind: Sexism, Racism and their side effects on their lives. This paper, aims at investigating the plethora of violence and the power of women’s solidarity in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple. The intended method for this paper is descriptive-interpretive, as it attempts to describe the miserable social life of black women in the US society, especially in terms of sexuality and gender inequality.
