Oppression and Humiliation in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple

Abstract

Alice Walker is the first major writer to make a full-fledged attack on patriarchal domination within the black community itself and her revolutionary writing emerges as unique decolonization of traditional love. Walker has worked for civil rights in Liberty County, Georgia and a number of civil rights projects in Mississippi. Walker, with her writing of The Color Purple, gets placed among the most influential contemporary American Writers and is almost universally recognized as a spokeswoman for black people.
