Toni Morrison, an eminent Afro-American novelist, boasts a remarkable literary legacy. With numerous novels to her credit, many of which have transcended linguistic boundaries, she has consistently explored the experiences and struggles of the black American community within the context of racial discrimination. This paper presents an analysis of the portrayal of slavery in her novel A Mercy in the light of Racism and underscores Morrison's propensity to draw insights from America's historical past that reflects the contemporary reality. Of paramount significance is the inextricable link between history and the persistent issue of racial discrimination against black Americans. The novel eloquently conveys the tragic consequences of the historical slave trade in America, illustrating the enduring impact of this dark side. The paper also unveils the profound spiritual and physical alienation experienced by individuals subjected to prolonged rights deprivation, treated as mere commodities for sale, and subjected to the brutal cruelty of slave traders in America. Furthermore, the exploration of motherhood and its profound significance within the narrative adds a layer of complexity to the state of women in America.
