摘要：The visual illustration of black speech in literature like black identity has and wants a voice. Black voice needs a “visual voice” in literature. Black voice has subsisted in society but not always in a positive manner. Black voice has been delineated by a number of black authors and all have seen it as part of one’s racial identity. Language has become a source of resistance and the visual depiction of black speech in literature accomplishes the black individual to further feel his presence in literature. The contention of this paper is to see how the visual representation/depiction of black voice in literature is necessary in constructing an established black voice, in understanding the story and finally establishing the black identity. The narrative art of Alice Walker’s selected short stories which includes the incorporation of blank English has been analyzed to assess whether her black women characters in speaking their own black English have actually shown that they share the same community, history and culture or just speak a slang without any grammar of its own. Key Words: Black English, Black Identity, Black Voice, Black women, Transcription.
