PRIJATELJSKE LJUBAVI U ROMANIMA TONI MORRISON THE BLUEST EYE I SULA

This work analyzes the concept of love among African American female friends. Their ‘friendly’ love, i.e. the strong emotional connection of female characters in both novels by Toni Morrison, was depicted as a necessary means in overcoming the racism and sexism that African American women were exposed to. Such friendships became a means of self-realization and emancipation for African American women who were subjected to repression both by white and black men.Ovaj rad analizira koncept ljubavi među afroameričkim prijateljicama. Njihova ‘prijateljska’ ljubav, tj. jaka emotivna povezanost ženskih likova u oba romana Toni Morrison prikazana je kao neophodno sredstvo u prevladavanju rasizma i seksizma kojima su Afroamerikanke izložene. Takvo je prijateljstvo postalo sredstvo samoostvarenja i emancipacije afroameričkih žena koje su podložne represiji kako bijelih, tako i crnih muškaraca
