Resum

[eng] Toni Morrison’s first novel, 'The Bluest Eye' (1970), tells the story of Pecola, an Afro-American little girl, in the United States of the 1940s. She and her family are in a vulnerable situation due to the way in which the concept of Americanness has been culturally constructed around discourses which are spread by institutions such schools or by mass media, like cinema. This rhetoric, based on the superiority of the white “race”, was devised to exclude the black community who, lacking representation, eventually internalize and validate their own inferiority. This end-of-degree paper aims to analyze the way in which such imposed exclusion affects some of the characters in two specific areas: on the one hand, how the concept of “home” becomes a space of violent cohabitation; on the other hand, the construction of self- identity when it is based on an alien cultural model.
