The suffering of African Americans in the US is the subject of this study. Racism, enslavement, oppression, and the marginalization of African Americans in society are the causes of this misery. The self-worth and self-esteem of the African-American character in the United States are destroyed by racism. Morrison writes about the issues that all human races, but particularly African Americans, face. Her novels are the essence of this suffering. Her works are centered on a perceptive view of the terrible predicament that plagues people of all colors. She is frequently recognized as the leading literary representative of modern African Americans in the United States. She is particularly concerned about how African American people and communities are treated.
