The genre of magic realism in tony morisson’s novel “Beloved”

In Tony Morrison’s novel Beloved, magic realism acts as a counter to the dominant and destructive Euro-centric narratives of a society, which silences the voices of the oppressed. The ghost-figure Beloved works as an intensification of "magic' and a representation of the 'past' and 'trauma' in the novel. The present study delves into how magic realism highlights and then resolves trauma, otherwise repressed in the mind of the protagonist.
