Abstract
The main objective of this article is to examine the racial injustice as portrayed in Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye (1970) and A Mercy (2008) with a specific focus on the experiences of Black individuals in American society. Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a theoretical framework and employing qualitative research methods. This study meticulously explores the depiction and resistance of racial injustice in Morrison's narratives. This research explores the unique struggles faced by characters like Pecola and Florens. When they make efforts in the face of the difficulties of self-identity in the societal norms of both White and Black communities. By emphasizing themes of racial identity, oppression, and belonging, this research uncovers the intricate layers of systemic racism deeply ingrained in American social structures. It also delineates various forms of racial injustice depicted in the novels, ranging from overt acts of discrimination to more subtle manifestations of structural oppression.
