African-American Feminism and Social Norms in The Bluest Eye Sul

In an American social environment in crisis that has inherited the patriarchal system and the strict moralism of the 17th century Puritans how should feminism be perceived as a movement and a strategy of struggle for the total emancipation of women supposedly victims of phallocracy or institutional machismo? In other words in this context of social crisis is feminism a simple movement of social demands or rather a rebellion against the patriarchal system? The relevance of this topic lies in the fact that it allows for a trial of the direction taken by feminists in a social environment where everything is already pre-established in terms of social norm. These investigations are based on three essential axes. The first approaches the concepts of norm and African-American feminism. The second axis analyzes the social status of the African-American woman in a macho American society. The last axis deals with the problematic the questioning of the scope of the actions carried out by the followers of radical black feminism in particular.
