Abstract

How to rebuild black women’s identity and dignity under the multiple oppression of classism, sexism and racism has always been Toni Morrison’s major concern. The paper analyzes three solutions to the problem of identity crisis in her first novel The Bluest Eye. Loving one’s black image, loving one’s black family and loving one’s black culture are the essential ways. By doing so can black women retain their authentic identities.
