AB Beloved (1987) is Morrison's fifth novel and the work that led her to win the Literature Nobel Prize. In it, Morrison digs into the events of systematized slavery in the United States and reveals the effects and the psychological damage that this produced in the black community. The novel addresses the tragic story of a former slave, Sethe whose decision to escape the plantation did not save her from the trauma of slavery. The aim of this essay is to analyze the main themes of the novel, such as slavery and motherhood, and correlate them with the present days’ racial issue in The USA. To do this, I will give a brief introduction to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, what it is, and its aims in the fight against racism. Thus, proving that Morrison’s Beloved is not a mere work of art, but it has a deep psychological component that turns it into a novel for protest.
