Description
The Color Purple is a 1982 epistolary novel by American author Alice Walker which won the 1983
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction.[1][a] It was later adapted into a film and musical
of the same name.
Taking place mostly in rural Georgia, the story focuses on the life of women of color
in the southern United States in the 1930s, addressing numerous issues including their exceedingly low position in
American social culture. The novel has been the frequent target of censors and appears on the American Library
Association list of the 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000-2009 at number seventeen because of the sometimes
explicit content, particularly in terms of violence.[2][3]
Racism and sexism
Almost none
of the abusers in the novel possess a stereotypical demon-like demeanor that could be dismissed as pure evil. The
characters who perpetuate violence are themselves, victims, often of sexism, racism, or paternalism. In the novel, Harpo
only beats Sofia after his father indicated that because of Sofia's resistance, Harpo is less of a man. Although Mr.___
is quite violent towards Celie, Celie counsels Harpo to beat Sofia because she is envious of Sofia's strength and
assertiveness.
Disruption of traditional gender roles
Many characters in the novel break the
boundaries of traditional male or female gender roles. Sofia's strength and sass, Shug's sexual assertiveness, and
Harpo's insecurity are major examples of such disparity between a character's gender and the traits he or she displays.
This blurring of gender traits and roles sometimes involves sexual ambiguity, as we see in the sexual relationship that
develops between Celie and Shug. Disruption of gender roles sometimes cause problems. Harpo's insecurity about his
masculinity leads to marital problems and his attempts to beat Sofia. Likewise, Shug's confident sexuality and
resistance to male domination cause her to be labeled a tramp. Throughout the novel, Walker wishes to emphasize that
gender and sexuality are not as simple as we may believe. Her novel subverts and defies the traditional ways in which we
understand women to be women and men to be men. Throughout the novel, the assertion of what the African-American
femininity is compared to is the exploration of African-American male struggle with masculinity. The idea of femininity
among African-American women is focused around the abilities of the husband to care for the wife and family. The
normative roles by men are viewed as the source of oppressive behavior by men. Therefore, if the African American male
is not fulfilling his role, it is unlikely for the African-American woman to fulfill her role of femininity because she
is predicated on his abilities.
Film, theatrical, and radio adaptations
Main articles: The Color
Purple (film) and The Color Purple (musical)
The novel was adapted into a film of the same name in 1985.
It was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Whoopi Goldberg as Celie, Danny Glover as Albert, and Oprah Winfrey as
Sofia. Though nominated for 11 Academy Awards, it won none. This perceived snubbing ignited controversy because many
critics considered it the best picture that year,[6] including Roger Ebert.[7] Others were upset by the film's depiction
of the black male as abusive, uncaring, and disloyal. Other critics felt that Steven Spielberg, then most associated
with films such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Indiana Jones, was a poor choice for such a complex social drama, and
that the film had changed or eliminated much of the book's defense of lesbianism.
On December 1, 2005, a
musical adaptation of the novel (based on the film) opened at The Broadway Theatre in New York City. The show was
produced by Scott Sanders, Quincy Jones, Harvey Weinstein, and Oprah Winfrey, who was also an investor.[8] It garnered
five 2006 Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, including Outstanding Broadway Musical and Outstanding New Score. That
same year, the show was nominated for eleven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score Written for the
Theater, and Best Leading Actress in a Musical (LaChanze). LaChanze did win the Tony Award, though the show itself won
no other awards. LaChanze's win was attributed to the variety of roles for which she had garnered positive attention, as
well as for a powerful backstory. In April 2007, Fantasia Barrino took over the role. The Broadway production ended its
run on February 24, 2008.[9]
In 2008 BBC Radio 4 broadcast a radio adaptation of the novel in ten
15-minute episodes as a Woman's Hour serial, with Nadine Marshall as Celie. The script was by Patricia Cumper, and in
2009 the production received the Sony Radio Academy Awards Silver Drama Award.[10]
Boycotting Israel
As part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), the author declined publication of the book in
Israel[11] in 2012. Walker, an ardent pro-Palestinian activist, said in a letter to Yediot Books that Israel practices
"apartheid" and must change its policies before her works can be published there.[12][13]
Alice Malsenior
Walker (born February 9, 1944) is an American author and activist. She wrote the critically acclaimed novel The Color
Purple (1982) for which she won the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
Walker was
born in Putnam County, Georgia,[4] the youngest of eight children, to Willie Lee Walker and Minnie Lou Tallulah Grant.
Her father, who was, in her words, "wonderful at math but a terrible farmer," earned only $300 ($4,000 in 2013 dollars)
a year from sharecropping and dairy farming. Her mother supplemented the family income by working as a maid.[5] She
worked 11 hours a day for $17 per week to help pay for Alice to attend college.[6]
Living under Jim Crow
laws, Walker's parents resisted landlords who expected the children of black sharecroppers to work the fields at a young
age. A white plantation owner said to her that black people had "no need for education". Minnie Lou Walker, according to
her daughter, replied "You might have some black children somewhere, but they don't live in this house. Don't you ever
come around here again talking about how my children don't need to learn how to read and write." Her mother enrolled
Alice in first grade when the girl was four years old.[7]
Growing up with an oral tradition, listening to
stories from her grandfather (who was the model for the character of Mr. in The Color Purple), Walker began writing,
very privately, when she was eight years old. "With my family, I had to hide things," she said. "And I had to keep a lot
in my mind."[8]
In 1952, Walker was accidentally wounded in the right eye by a shot from a BB gun fired
by one of her brothers.[9] In 2013, on BBC Radio's Desert Island Discs, she said the act was actually deliberate but she
agreed to protect her brother against their parents' anger if they knew the truth. Because the family had no car, the
Walkers could not take their daughter to a hospital for immediate treatment. By the time they reached a doctor a week
later, she had become permanently blind in that eye. When a layer of scar tissue formed over her wounded eye, Alice
became self-conscious and painfully shy. Stared at and sometimes taunted, she felt like an outcast and turned for solace
to reading and to writing poetry. When she was 14, the scar tissue was removed. She later became valedictorian and was
voted most-popular girl, as well as queen of her senior class, but she realized that her traumatic injury had some
value: it had allowed her to begin "really to see people and things, really to notice relationships and to learn to be
patient enough to care about how they turned out".[5] After high school, Walker went to Spelman College in Atlanta on a
full scholarship in 1961 and later transferred to Sarah Lawrence College, graduating in 1965. Walker became interested
in the U.S. civil rights movement in part due to the influence of activist Howard Zinn, who was one of her professors at
Spelman College. Continuing the activism that she participated in during her college years, Walker returned to the South
where she became involved with voter registration drives, campaigns for welfare rights, and children's programs in
Mississippi.[10]
On March 17, 1967, she married Melvyn Roseman Leventhal. She worked as writer in
residence at Jackson State College (1968–1969) and Tougaloo College (1970–1971) and was a consultant in
black history to the Friends of the Children of Mississippi Head Start program.
