Self-Destruction of Africans in Alice Walker’s Possessing the Secret of Joy
Öz
Possessing the Secret of Joy by Alice Walker is a novel which highlights undeliberate collaboration of African people with the West to destroy not only their own natural sources but also their own community via exploitation and female circumcision. It deals with these themes and shows how Africans prepare their own ends because of their greediness and blind attachment to their primitive traditions. In this respect, the purpose of this article is to shed light on the deformation of African women generation due to enforced circumcision and to reveal how Africans lose their existence when they unconsciously collaborate with the West on the devastation of the natural ecosystem. The findings of the study demonstrate that Africans are too ignorant to understand the negative effects of wilful exploitation of the forest and genital mutilation.
