This essay discusses the possibility of the combination of the social with the aesthetic functions of African American literature. It analyses how the main characters of Morrison’s Beloved are portrayed not just as individual and fictional types, but also as collective and historical ones, through which African American historical memory and culture are revealed in slavery time.Downloads
