Journal Article
God Help the Child \2015\
2023
Overview
Toni Morrison dealt pervasively and sequentially with the traumatized experience of abused children in her fictional canon. Morrison, an Afro-American writer opted for the adoption of postmodern narrative techniques in order to overcome the quandary of being a black writer whose primary narratee belongs to the mainstream white American culture. This paper aims at investigating Morrison's schematic narrative technique in remembering, revealing and eventually healing the traumatic history of abused African American children in her last novel God Help the Child (2014). The paper hypothesizes that Morrison adopts a postmodernist authorial stance in the composition of God Help the Child depending mainly on the dialogical polyphonic consonance of the heterodiegetic and homodiegetic narrative voices of the main and minor characters in this novel. Moreover, the hypothesis of the paper is based on the presumption that Morrison's narrative schema is traceable to the psychoanalytic theory that the course of psychological recovery of the traumatized victims of child abuse is preconditioned by rendering full catharsis of trauma by means of narration.
