The present paper attempts to briefly analyze Toni Morrison's Sula and The Bluest Eye with a Cultural and Postcolonial viewpoint. The study tries to illustrate the problems of being a black in a multicultural society like America. The distinctive feature of this study is deep analysis of the sense of alienation and self-hatred as consequences of being marginalized in a popular culture. To make a better understanding of the cultural clashes and pressures imposed on black people, these cultural pressures are broken into three categories (The cultural clash between Black and White culture, Cultural clashes within black subcultures, Cultural clashes between Black culture and other non-black subcultures in White American society).
