Thesis (Ph.D.)--Temple University, 2002.

This research discusses in the selected texts the recurring theme of psychological mal adaptation of characters in reaction to the exigencies of slavery and the internalization of White Supremacist ideals after freedom. The analysis follows the progressive discourse on the injuries and cycle of disorder that ensue from bodily and psychological assault from the Middle Passage to the Civil Rights Movement presented in the trilogy. Written discourse on the psychological state after freedom sets Morrison's narratives apart from precedent narratives of the enslavement era. Beloved, Song of Solomon and The Bluest Eye present a chronological discourse on the theme of self-alienation which Morrison identifies as one of the most egregious results of slavery and white supremacist ideology.

520 $a This research discusses in the selected texts the recurring theme of psychological mal adaptation of characters in reaction to the exigencies of slavery and the internalization of White Supremacist ideals after freedom. The analysis follows the progressive discourse on the injuries and cycle of disorder that ensue from bodily and psychological assault from the Middle Passage to the Civil Rights Movement presented in the trilogy. Written discourse on the psychological state after freedom sets Morrison's narratives apart from precedent narratives of the enslavement era. Beloved, Song of Solomon and The Bluest Eye present a chronological discourse on the theme of self-alienation which Morrison identifies as one of the most egregious results of slavery and white supremacist ideology.
520 $a Narratives written during the enslavement era present the suffering black body as evidence of injustice. It is this speaking subject that is used to make an appeal for moral action. Consequently, these narratives are thick descriptions of the nature and brutality of slave life. Escape is the answer to the slave condition. It is deemed a heroic, epic event with little attention given to the condition of the slave after freedom or to consideration of the psychological impact of the slave legacy on the inner life as an experiential component of the physical experience of slavery.
520 $a In the selected trilogy Morrison continues and builds upon the Slave Narrative tradition by expanding the themes of desire, escape and freedom, and by adapting the structure of the slave narrative form to reflect contemporary social-political realities. She places her stories along side other narratives extant in the corpus of African American literature through extensive analysis and discussion of the mental and emotional state after physical freedom has been achieved, extending the discourse on Black life and Black survival in America.
520 $a The study is a psycho literary analysis that employs Na'im Akbar's Mental Disorder Classification Model to critically analyze characters. The analysis considers (1) the framing of identify, which examines the cognitive, affective and conative in the conceptualization and assertion of self, (2) social behaviors and attitudes about freedom and survival, (3) adjustments/adaptations to transition and conflict.
