Abstract

In Sula, Toni Morrison discusses questions about the position of black women in the communities and reinterprets black motherhood, showing the importance of black motherhood for the existence and continuity of the black communities. It contributes to black survival and the transmission of black culture and the establishment of black identity. By analyzing Eva Peace in Sula and her conflicts with her and her offspring, this essay aims to explore Toni Morrison’s re-writing and presentation of black motherhood under intersectionality in light of theories related to black motherhood.
