The Color Purple (the novel)
Alice Walker’s third novel, The Color Purple, was first published in 1982. Essentially about the triumph of good over evil, this 1983 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction explores the theme of ‘double repression’ of black women in American culture – repression by white society in general and then again by black men.
