The aim of this paper is to study the concepts of feminism, racism and slavery in ToniMorrison’s novels. Morrison deals with many social themes such as black people oppressionin white societies, identity, violence, slavery, sexism. These issues play a vital role in thelives of people particularly black people. Oppression has many reasons in these societies suchas skin color and women. Black people are victims of the dominant white societies. Whitepeople practice violence against black people in many ways. Black women struggle hard tofind their identity among racist societies. Accordingly, Morrison’s works cover all theseconcepts practiced against her people and deals with each in a very distinctive way.
