Abstract
This paper analyzes the influence of the
Black Power movement on the AfricanAmerican literary productions; especially in
the fictional works of Toni Morrison. As an
African-American author, Toni Morrison
presents the idea of 'Africanness' in her
novels. Morrison's fiction comments on the
fluid bond amongst the African-American
community, the Black Power and Black
Aesthetics. The works of Morrison focus on
various critical points in the history of
African-Americans, her fiction recalls not
only the memory of Africa but also
contemplates the contemporary issues.
Morrison situates the power politics within
the framework of literature by presenting
the history of the African-American
cultures.
