Abstract
This paper examines the themes of slavery, racism, freedom, and social equality from African American women authors’ point of view. Beginning with a brief insight into African American history that was crucial for the development of African American women’s literature, it will pay special attention to the evolution of slave narrative as well as neo-slave narrative tradition. The paper will further analyze three novels written by three African American women authors: Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987), Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1982), and Octavia Butler’s Kindred (1979) to show how black women’s personal experience of slavery shaped African American women’s literature and history. In Toni Morrison’s Beloved, we will explore the psychological impact of slavery and its influence on the characters; in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple the emphasis will be put on the power of female relationships; in Octavia Butler’s Kindred we will attempt to argue that the use of time travel as a narrative tool allows us to better understand the present and the past.
