| dc.description.abstract | The present research paper is supposed to create a black feminist study of Kiley Reid’s Such a Fun Age (2019). To appropriately conduct this study, we have used Patricia Hill Collins’ theoretical concepts developed in her book entitled Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge,Consciousness and Politics of Empowerment (2000). We have taken from the theory two major concepts associated with our primary source, which are developed, in our discussion section. This piece of research comprises two main chapters within the primary chapter; we studied the concept of the “outsider within” in relationship to the feminine protagonist of the novel. Within the second chapter, the focus has been placed on the “matrix of domination”, by showing the assorted types of oppression to which black people (women) are targeted to in supremacist society. The first chapter of our research has been commenced by analyzing the novel through the concept of “outsider within”, which is divided into three sections which are; the role of black women in white American society. It has been experienced through the female protagonist Emira. Second section is devoted to the life of black women, which is explored within the experience of the protagonist in the white American society. In addition, the third section is devoted to the social role of white women in black American society, which is indicated through the visit of Alix Chamberlain to the house of Emira Tucker. The second chapter is devoted to the study of the novel within the concept of “matrix of domination”, which is divided into four sections. The first explores the concept of the structural domain of power. The second section analyses the concept of the disciplinary domain of power. The third section is devoted to the concept of the hegemonic domain of power and the mast section is devoted to the concept of the interpersonal domain of power. The key findings of our research demonstrate that racism is imbedded within the American society and developed its roots through multiple oppressive stains that gave birth to what is known today as “systemic racism”, which means, how racism is shown in our society across institutions and society. | en |
