Double Colonisation in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye

Postcolonial theory, the most prominent hermeneutic theory among the 20th-century schools, is described as a literary theory or critical perspective that is concerned with literature produced in contends that are currently or formerly colonies of other countries. When empire and colonialism impaired the heritage of Indigenous people, men who were the initial advocates of postcolonial theory became preoccupied with establishing a nation which gave birth to postcolonial feminism. It decries the supremacy formed by native men after the Empire as well as the colonial rulers. This study aims to investigate the premise of Double Colonisation of African American women in Toni Morrison's remarkable work, The Bluest Eye. This concept refers to the way that women are treated in postcolonial nations. The paper builds on Edward Said's idea of 'othering,' and the lengthy history of discrimination against women in postcolonial and feminist contexts on the part of both coloniser and native male society. By the end of the paper, it becomes clear that Toni Morrison's discussion of the effects of colonialism, the patriarchal components, and the social abuse of women's rights contributes to illuminating how the identity of colonised women is still defined by these elements.
