Abstract

Family trauma caused by racial discrimination is not only an individual problem but also a collective problem. Baldwin incorporates his life experiences and starts from the perspective of individuals to propose mutual care among family members. By combining black culture and American dominant culture, people can reserve and inherit black culture and they can heal trauma. Meanwhile, the process of the writer’s writing is a process of curing his trauma.
