The dawn of the new millennium witnessed a lot of changes in human kind in the context of technology based global world. Yet the discrimination between men and women, economically and socially upgraded and oppressed exists. Women continued to suffer as the most disadvantaged group all over the world. Second-wave feminism was largely concerned with the end to discrimination and oppression. Black Feminism is the process of self-conscious struggle that empowers women. The black women’s marginalization and oppression forced them to search for self-awareness and self-empowerment. Toni Morrison stresses that black women can never become fully empowered in a context of social injustice. In her works, Morrison has explored the experience and roles of black women in a racist and male dominated society and longings for the search for cultural identity. The inability of male and female characters to form a sense of identity in her novels Sula and Tar Baby is knotted to the cultural trauma they experience which makes it impossible to shape a sense of self. This paper focuses on the dilemma of female figures in constructing their identities in a racist and sexist society. How the protagonists of the novels Tar Baby and Sula project their identities in the midst of racial and patriarchal society is discussed in detail.
