Abstract: Toni Morrison is an outstanding African American woman writer. The Bluest Eye, one of her earliest works published in 1970, exerts powerful influence in presenting the plight and struggle of black women who have long been silenced in a white dominated society. Focusing on two salient aspects of the white culture in the novel: the standard of physical beauty and family value, this thesis discusses black women's two different responses, namely, the subdued and rebellious toward white culture. After a careful study of the black women's two contrasting attitudes, the author of this paper concludes that Toni Morrison, by her keen grasp of the way that the individual characters in The Bluest Eye react differently to the white culture, demystifies the myth of white superiority, and through the voice of a rebellious narrator, Claudia, directs all her black sisters to resist the racist values and stick to their own culture so that they will flourish as themselves.
Key words: black women, white culture, attitude, contrast
摘要：托尼.莫里森是当今美国文坛一位杰出的黑人女作家，发表于1970年的《最蓝的眼睛》代表着她最早期的作品。在展现长期倍受白人压迫而失语的黑人女性的苦痛和挣扎方面，这部小说具有震撼人心的影响力。本文主要分析了《最蓝的眼睛》中的白人文化，即身体美和家庭观，并具体讨论了对待白人文化，黑人女性的两种不同反应，即盲从和抗争。在针对黑人女性对待白人文化的两种不同的回应做出仔细的研究后，本文作者得出结论:托尼.莫里森，正是以这种鲜明的对比方式来驱除白人霸权文化所定义的关于女性美和家庭模式的神秘光环，并透过一个充满反抗精神的叙述者 ——黑人女孩克劳迪亚向所有黑人姐妹发出强有力的声音:抗拒种族观念的歧视，坚守黑人文化并最终实现真实的自我。
