The Bluest Eye
Written by Nobel-Prize winning author, Toni Morrison in 1970, the classic novel centres around the life of an African-American black girl named Pecola who had an inferiority complex due to the colour of her eye and skin. The book was ranked as the second most banned book in the United States by the American Library Association. Since its publication, the book has been attacked for its “pornographic language” and “inappropriate content.” In 2013, parents in a Colorado school district petitioned for The Bluest Eye to be excluded from the 11th-grade reading list because of its “explicit sexual scenes, describing incest, rape, and paedophilia.” In spite of the criticisms, the book is described as a thought-provoking literary work.
