Diasporic Displacement and the Search for Black Female Identity in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby and Nadine Gordimer's None to Accompany Me

Both Toni Morrison's Tar Baby and Nadine Gordimer's None to Accompany Me feature young, modern, black women who are removed from their homelands by virtue of their childhoods spent in literal and figurative exile. Culturally displaced, they are unable to connect with their African heritage and flee to Western nations. These novels raise the question of where and what is the place of the young, black woman in the African diaspora. The author explores the impact of diaspora upon these characters, as articulated by Morrison and Gordimer, as well as its relationship to the struggle to establish black, female identity.
