Abstract

In this study, multiculturalism is going to be the target literary- theoretical discipline in scrutinising the politics of ‘Black Intellectuals’ whose principles and characteristics are going to be discussed in terms of the consistency of the main argument pointed out by Cornel West in his article entitled: “New Cultural Politics of Difference.” Thereby, the intended purpose will be aimed to be discussed whether West’s politics for Black Intellectuals, whose features are produced under multicultural characteristics, are provided and represented or not? Furthermore, West’s political attitude is scrutinised in the samples of literature written by ‘Black Intellectuals.’ Therefore, these characteristics, attributed to West’s Black Intellectuals, are going to be analysed through variety of theoretical and academic sources. The primary literary sources will be Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, and Toni Morrison’s Sula.

Özet

Çokkültürlülük bu çalışmada hedef teorik-edebi kuram olup ‘Afro-Amerikan Entelektüellerin’ politikaları ve içerikleri Cornel West’in “Farklılığın Yeni Kültürel Politikaları” (“New Cultural Politics of Difference”) adlı makalesi üzerinden temel argüman olarak incelenecektir. Bu sebeple West’in ‘Afro-Amerikan Entelektüellerinin’ çokkültürlülük özelliklerini sağlayıp sağlamadığı bu çalışmanın amacı olarak gösterilecektir. Ayrıca West’in politik tavrı, Afro-Amerikan Entelektüeller tarafından yazılan edebi eserlerde incelenecektir. Böylece, bahsedilen özellikler West’in Afro-Amerikan Entelektüelleri üzerinden teorik ve akademik kaynaklar çerçevesinde çalışılacak olup birincil edebi kaynaklar Alice Walker’ın The Color Purple, ve Toni Morrison’un Sula adlı eserleridir.
