Résumé | Abstract

Although the slavery system in America was founded on the negation of Blacks’ cultural values brought from Africa, Toni Morrison shows in Tar Baby that analyzing black culture differently leads to a conflict between white and black race. White people denied any culture in the process of the Blacks’ dehumanization. Whites destroyed black culture and imposed them theirs. Blacks meanwhile, revived cultural values of the black race to show Whites that they had an advanced culture that gave meaning to their existence and identity. They highlight the importance of their culture that contributes to their integration into the fabric of the society in The United States of America.
