“…The notion of girls and women on the receiving end of continued violence is further explored by Roye (2012). Analyzing and comparing both Morrison's first novel -The Bluest Eye -and her latest one back in 2012 -A Mercy -, Roye demonstrates that both are stories about what she calls "aborted girlhoods".…”

Resumo: Este artigo analisa The Bluest Eye , de Toni Morrison, com o objetivo de demonstrar como a idade, gênero e raça das personagens principais influenciam a narrativa e, na verdade, transformam a história no que ela é. A análise é baseada na ideia de violência ritualística discutida em Azevedo (2001), nos denominadores comuns da infância norte-americana listados por Mintz (2009), no significado que as bonecas têm na infância das garotas norte-americanas, conforme explorado por Jacobs (2008), e nas características comumente encontradas nos livros infantis que tratam especificamente de garotas afro-americanas, conforme discutido por McNair e Brooks (2012). O artigo demonstra de que maneiras esses fatores atuam juntos sobre as vidas das três meninas que estão no centro da narrativa. Palavras-chave: literatura norte-americana; literatura afro-americana; Toni Morrison.
