'Racialized Beauty': The Ugly Duckling in Toni Morrison's "God Help the Child"
Ediciones Complutense 2017-11-27

InGod Help the Child, Toni Morrison's latest novel, set in our contemporary times, her oeuvre seems to have come full circle when she revisits the main themes she dealt with inThe Bluest Eye, child abuse and aesthetics relativism. Like her prime novel, her latest narrative is a modern-day fairy tale, a re-interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Ugly Duckling". Morrison shows how destructive hegemonic female beauty standards and materialistic values are for black females. Lula Ann, like Pecola, their protagonists, illustrate racialized beauty and how African Americans have been colonized by white cultural definitions of beauty, even when the notion "black is beautiful" is commodified. InGod Help the Child, Morrison devaluates the myth of racialized beauty and materialism, stressing the need to find your own definitions and self-worth. Like "The Ugly Duckling", Morrison's latest novel is a powerful and inspirational metaphor about transformation and self-discovery. At the end ofGod Help the Child, the signs of hope inThe Bluest Eye become an almost fairy-tale ending in Lula Ann's cathartic journey, her love story and pregnancy

EnGod Help the Child, la última novela de Toni Morrison, ambientada en nuestra época, su obra parece cerrar un círculo cuando la escritora re-examina los principales temas de su primera novela,The Bluest Eye, abusos infantiles y el relativismo estético. Como su primera novela, su última narrativa es un cuento de hadas moderno, una reinterpretación de la historia de Hans Christian Andersen, "El patito feo." Morrison muestra el efecto destructivo de los cánones hegemónicos de belleza femenina blanca y los valores puramente materiales en las mujeres negras. Lula Ann y Pecola, las protagonistas deGod Help the Child yThe Bluest Eye, respectivamente, ilustran la racialización de la belleza y como los afroamericanos han sido colonizados por los patrones estéticos culturales occidentales, incluso cuando el concepto "lo negro es bello" se mercantiliza. EnGod Help the Child, Morrison devalúa el mito de la belleza racializada y el materialismo, enfatizando la necesidad de encontrar tus propias definiciones y valía personal. Como en "El patito feo", la última novela de Morrison es una metáfora poderosa e inspiradora sobre la transformación y el autodescubrimiento. Al final deGod Help the Child, las señales de esperanza que aparecen enThe Bluest Eye se convierten en un final casi de cuento de hadas en el viaje catártico de Lula Ann, su historia amorosa y su embarazo
