Boja purpurna

Alice Walker

An epistolary novel that follows the life of Celia, a young African-American woman in rural Georgia in the early 20th century. Through letters addressed to God and her sister Nettie, Celie describes her experience of abuse, racism, sexism and her journey

Celie, at the age of fourteen, suffers sexual and physical abuse from her stepfather, who rapes her twice, taking her children away. Married to an abusive husband, Celie lives a life of subjugation, devoid of love and dignity. Her life is transformed by two women: Sofia, a strong daughter-in-law who fights injustice, and Shug Avery, a singer and her husband's lover, who helps Celie discover her own strength and sexuality. Through her relationship with Shug, Celie finds love and self-acceptance, while letters from Nettie, a missionary in Africa, reveal the truth about her family and the world beyond America.

The novel explores themes of racial and gender oppression, as well as resistance, community, and spiritual rebirth. Walker uses simple yet powerful language, infused with African-American dialect, to portray Celie's transformation from victim to woman finding her voice. The Color Purple is a powerful feminist and anti-racist novel, winning the Pulitzer Prize, celebrating the power of female solidarity and self-realization.
