Aesthetics of 'Thinking Black' in African-American Narrative Discourse. Reading in Toni Morrison’s "The Bluest Eye" and Alice Walker's "The Color Purple"

      Аннотация: This book focuses on the very aesthetic framework of the philosophy of 'thinking black' in terms of theory and practice. It's about how the aesthetic reader can be in touch with the critical and narrative discourse of black women writers such as Toni Morrison and Alice Walker. The crucial question that could be raised, now and then, is how those womanist writers keep a firm hold of 'thinking black' when they construct their aesthetic archive by means of narration. The matter requires an aesthetic effort and skill of crafted practice in order to make their readers feel and grasp what beyond the threads of their aesthetic philosophy of 'thinking black'.
