The most contested concepts of race, gender, class have an adverse effect in the lives of millions of people throughout the history. In White America, if Afro-American men suffer on the grounds of their skin colour, Black women are the victims of both gender and race. It is also interesting to note that race, gender and class-the three major sources of oppression of Black Americans in America are not separate entities but intertwined and closely linked with each other. Many a Black writer attempts to express the oppression faced by both Afro-American men and women in their book of art where "Literature has become an important vehicle to represent the social context, to expose inequality racism and social injustice". Morrison examines and analyses the social conditions that prevailed during 1960s in America and scrutinizes the problem of growing up black and female in a society which equates beauty with blue eyed whiteness in her first novel 'The Bluest Eye' The present paper is an attempt to explore the issue of Afro American female identity in Toni Morrison's The Bluest eye and explain the triple jeopardy-racism, sexism and classism the three forms oppression portrayed in the novel for the victimization of the major character-Pecola.
