Abstract
Toni Morrison's works are linked to race and gender, steeped in popular black culture, music and folklore. The most significant purpose of her writings is "to fill in the blanks that the slave narratives left to part" Morrison’s presentation of racial oppression and reaffirmation of black culture isn't her attempt to de-centre the white logos but finally rebuilt the centre. The focus of present paper is to bring out the precision with which Morrison highlights the trauma of black people, specifically women who survived despite insurmountable difficulties, immeasurable physical, emotional, mental agony they underwent during Middle Passages. Their survival strategy amidst unspeakable torment, torture and isolation lies only on an indomitable and invincible spirit to fight odds whether it is Baby Suggs, Sethe, Ellia, Denver, Vashti.
