The book intends to study the haunting power of the
past--the legacy of slavery and the trauma of racism-
-on the lives of African Americans in Toni
Morrison''s Fiction. The author attempts to examine
how the aftermaths of historical and individual
trauma affect the formation of ethnic identity and
black subjectivity, how the traumatic history is
haunting across generations, how the memory of the
traumatic past is mediated and imaginatively
portrayed through fictional characters and in what
ways those characters respond to racism and imposed
shame. Based on the theories of trauma, the author
views African American history as a prolonged
history of trauma which haunts generations of
blacks. The impact of the past is always present in
a variety of ways.
