Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Bluest Eye is a 1970 novel by Toni Morrison - her first novel. The story is about a year in the life of a young black girl in Lorain, Ohio, named Pecola. It takes place against the backdrop of America's Midwest as well as in the years following the Great Depression. The novel explores the relationship between beauty and race. The protagonist realizes that darker-skinned black people are treated worse than lighter-skinned black people, who more closely fit Caucasian standards of beauty. Pecola comes to believe that if she had blue eyes, she would escape race-based oppression. |
