The Bluest Eye

National Bestseller at one time and Nobel Prize winner banned due to “sexually explicit material,” “lots of graphic descriptions and lots of disturbing language,” and “an underlying socialist-communist agenda.”

In actuality it is about internalized racism in the black community.

In essence the dark side of the saying -

“If we treat people as if they were what they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.”

Story

From Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison comes the story of a young black girl who longs to be like the blond, blue-eyed children that America loves-a novel "so charged with pain and wonder that it becomes poetry" (The New York Times).
