The purpose of this paper is to investigate the identity of black women and the solidarity of black community through “Parody” in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye. In Anglo-American culture, black women have been held under a dual oppression because they are not only blacks but women as well. So they have come to have their unique Black Literature so that they can demonstrate distorted identities of blacks. The identities of black women Morrison discusses The Bluest Eye result from the white supremacy. The theme of The Bluest Eye shows the matters of the resistance against racial and woman discriminations through parody in the lives of such characters as Pecola, Pauline and Cholly. In the novel, Morrison wishes to show how far apart the ideal life of American White family is from the actual life of the black family(Pecola’s family). Through ‘Negative Incidents’ that could be found in , , , , she parodies them in a way to illuminate the positive identity of blacks as distorted by the whites. She is the most outstanding ‘post-colonial counter discourse’ writer in view of cinematizing new “Much Bluer Eyes” through re-interpreting “the idealistic” from “the negative” for the self-recognition of black women based on “Post-colonial Counter Discourse.”
