摘要
In light of the postcolonial theory,this thesis attempts to analyze the marginal plight of the low class and women images in Tar Baby from the perspective of Gayatri C.Spivak’s epistemic violence.Under the influence of epistemic violence,the resistance strategy in Tar Baby is highlighted in order to interpret the resistance thought displayed by Toni Morrison in the Tar Baby.Toni Morrison expresses the appeal of an active strategy to resist epistemic violence against cultural hegemony and the white dominant society.
