Abstract: | In Toni Morrison' s works, there seems to be an eternal theme--the cruelty of black American peoples' fate and the conflier between black culture and white culture. Black culture is in an inferior position for a long time. In Morrison' s opinion, the blacks can only survive in the white - dominated world on condition that they hold their own cultural root. And on the other hand, there is another way people should seek, which is to realize tolerance and compatibility of the two cultures. In this speech, Morrison again expounded the relation between the two cultures and expressed her wish that black culture could be admitted and respected by the white people. |
