•The
novel
is set in the golden age of blues and jazz music.
•The
novel begins in the early years of the 20th
century and, following the life of Celie, covers several decades of life in the
American South, emphasising the hardships and joys of black people, and
especially black women at the hands of men.
•Slavery
was abolished, but prejudice still existed at this time. The novel is set
between 1910 and 1940.
As you watch the video, spot any
examples of where the narrator seems to belittle or patronise African
Americans and note this down.
