Abstract

This paper is an attempt to explore how Morrison used literary works as an alternative tool in passing on the legacy of the past in the black community to young people in particular and readers in general. The result shows that being a writer, Morrison argues that the legacy of the past could be transmitted through literature.Morrison asserts that contemporary black narratives should not merely tell stories; instead, it should invite readers to actively participate in experiencing the text, to feel, and to move them to take action.To accomplish the idea, Morrison emphasize the significance of having specific narrative strategy, the importance of the reconstruction of memories of the past, and the selection of particular historical moments, real and metaphorical geography, and cultural characteristics of African Americans as the setting for her novel.
