Abstract:Toni Morrison delineates the conflicts of centrifugal force with centripetal force from the perspectives of survival, feeling and culture in The Bluest Eye. The sharp conflict between the centrifugal force for individual success and the centripetal force for race unity provides chances for blacks’ self-realization in the struggle for racial equality and social justice. Morrison not only inherits and glorifies the good tradition of black literature, but fiercely criticizes race prejudice and racial discrimination, especially incisively disclosing and dissecting gender discrimination, class alienation, degenerate values and psychopath. The intense centrifugal force resulting from blacks’ internalization of white aesthetics, values and communicative views is helpful for blacks to fuse with the mainstream American society with an identity equal to their white counterparts. However, the game between centrifugal force and centripetal force directly challenges American races’ cultural tradition and identity.
