The present study portrays the image of the black woman, in Zora
Hurston' Color Struck, who is still subject to prejudice and
violation of all human rights, and shows how this woman is doubly
oppressed by the fact of colorism and the male-dominated society.
In addition, the purpose of this study is to tackle many
perspectives of racism, inferiority, and problems of identity. It also
shows the obsession of the African women with the concept of
beauty and her resentment of her own black color.
