Abstract
In comparing the short stories Cuentos Negros by Lydia Cabrera and the novel The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison one must recognize the impact of the time period in which the authors’ lived, the cultural identity represented in their works and the form and structure utilized to convey messages through literature. Though both women lived in different time periods in history and were from different backgrounds, as minority female writers they expressed similar recognition and insight of a minority culture while in the shadow of the Dominate European-American hegemony.
