| description | This essay explores how Toni Morrison’s “Sula” and “Jazz” present the black community and its pariahs. Oppressed by the whites, the black community manifests the same oppression it has received on selected members of the black community.

As they manoeuver within their peripheral space, they create non-oppressive solidarity and find alternative forms of empowerment. |
