Slavery to Liberty: A Heroic Journey of a Marginal Black Woman in Toni Morrison’s Beloved

African-American Literature intersects in its portrayal of the subverted marginal through Literature. It has received universal acknowledgement since the works of both the men and women writers attempt to show the poignant struggles undergone by the African Americans, not for money or power but for asserting or claiming their basic human right of parity and liberty. But men writers have failed to witness the sufferings of women in the enslaved community. Women are given much importance in the literary arena of African- American women as they are the most affected group and the jeopardy of the male dominant society. They are not only the victims of the white dominant society but also of their men. The African- American women writers have highlighted the liberated spirit of black women which will redeem them from their bitter journey of slavery to the victorious state of freedom. One of America’s best women writers who consciously free black women from their state of enslavement in their writings was Toni Morrison. Her Beloved is absolutely a best fiction that has represented the black woman Sethe’s journey from slavery to liberty.
