Answer:
African American love among the black as described in the bluest eye can be defined by its demonization of Blackness in American culture.
Explanation:
- In Lorai Ohio, 9 year old Claudia MacTeer and her 10 year old sister Frieda live with her parents, a lodger named Mr. Henry, and Pecola Breedlove, a foster girl whose home was burned down by her unstable, alcoholic and sexual abuser father.
- Pecola is a quiet and passive young woman who grows up with little money and whose parents constantly fight verbally and physically.
- Pecola is constantly reminded by members of her neighborhood and school community what an "ugly" girl she is. In order to beautify herself, Pecola wishes for blue eyes.
- Also, the titles of most chapters are excerpts from the Dick and Jane section in the novel's prologue, which depicts a white family to be contrasted with Pecolas.
- The novel explores through flashbacks the younger years of Pecola's parents, Cholly and Pauline, their struggles as African Americans in a largely white Anglo-Saxon Protestant community.
