Abstract: Toni Morrison is the first female black writer who won the Nobel Prize for the literature award. Her works, basically, pay close attention to the plight of the black Americans and their resistance. The first work of her does a detailed description and thorough discussion to the living situation of the black Americans, reflecting their humiliating lives under the condition of being colonized and the identity crisis they face. Based on the theory of postcolonialism, the paper intends to disclose the living status of black Americans and the two main reasons which lead to their identity crisis and it tries to uncover the road of reconstructing the black identity, calling for black Americans’ self-esteem and correct view of their own identity to stick to their national culture. 

 

Key words: identity crisis; postcolonialism; black American; identity reconstruction
