Résumé:
The leitmotif of slavery was the nexus of several writers. They forage for the traumatized
exigencies of slaves by wielding copious narrative styles to obstruct the stereotypical
simulacrum of slavery. Toni Morrison was among those writers, who rallied against the
expunction of the unspeakable slaves. Via the use of postmodern slave narrative, indubitably,
she tends to rewrite the slave history in Beloved, in which she adopts the story of Margaret
Garner who escaped from the institution of slavery, by using the fictitious character Sethe.
This study investigates How Toni Morrison uses the postmodern slave narrative to portray
the Trauma and memory of slavery, by the use of qualitative, as well as analytical, and
Descriptive approaches to analyze closely the depiction of trauma and memory in Beloved.
Additionally, the ultimate aim to portray the manifestation of critical race theory in the novel
and its emphasis on the historical context of slavery
