The Bluest Eye and the Intersection of Race, Class and Gender.
This paper examines Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" in the context of how race, class and gender intersect as systems of domination and subjugation. Morrison emphasizes the theme of racial discrimination, which intertwines with the issues of gender and class in the oppression of women under capitalist patriarchy. In many respects, therefore, "The Bluest Eye" complements Marxist feminism, since it adds the dimension of racism to the realities of how classism and sexism marginalize women in society at large.11 pgs. 12 f/c. 6b.
