Abstract
African American and Dalit writings have many similarities and both are very striking in terms of their suffering in the midst of neglect. It is very much evident through Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child and Baby Kamble’s The Prisons We Broke. Both works have emerged as distinctive literary discourses born out of the vivified perceptiveness of the writer. The absence from the mainstream literary tradition and an identity disaster link these two literatures. They share a common ground in their effort to remove the enforced invisibility of Afro-American and Dalits in social, cultural and political dynamics in their respective place.
