Alice Walker, a renowned novelist and poet, is famous for her works that depict the struggles and trials of African-Americans, especially the plight of women. In her novels, stories and poetry, she emphasizes the concept of the existing racial prejudice that whites have for blacks. She even discerned the idea that there's discrimination within the
spirited black Americans themselves. In her novel, The Color Purple, she narrated the story of a woman who is molested and raped by people belonging to the same race as the woman's. Her novel stirred a lot of controversies and issues, and even angered the black community. In fact, Africa- Americans said that Alice Walker is a racist since she writes negative things about her race. This pained Alice very much since she is no racist. She just wants to speak the truth.
