Child Abuse: A Predatory Exploitation of Juveniles in Eleanor Taylor Bland’s Gone Quiet

  • Ms. V. Dhivya et al.

Abstract

African American Literature is a conglomeration of rich black heritage and distinctive American experience. Through their writing, African American writers shared their common experience of humiliation and oppression. African American literature achieves depth and universality by bringing out the impact of culture, gender, sexuality, nationality and ethnicity. Blacks ceased to exist as human beings in the white world. Blackness was seen as closely aligned to slavery and was the embodiment of evil to the white. Blackness, which is regarded as an infirmity, was converted into artistic strength by writers. Blackness operates as a creative element which proves their identity as artists and more importantly, as human beings with equal privileges in society.
