Published in 1982, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is widely regarded as a landmark work in black feminist literature. This novel explores the struggle of Black women under the triple oppression of race, gender and class. Through vivid character images and highly infectious narratives, Walker showcases their efforts to survive, resist oppression and regain their self-identity. This article employs spatial theory to examine the process of Black women from the violated private space to the subjective space of self-reconstruction. The research focus lies in the awakening, liberation and reconstruction of the body space. Celie’s early life reflected the spatial oppression faced by Black women. Her physical autonomy and emotional well-being have been repeatedly violated, plunging her into silence and self-denial. However, Walker does not simply portray women as victims of oppression. Instead, she demonstrates how they gradually gain control over their lives and rebuild their inner worlds again. It is Celie’s transformation that also highlights the connection between personal growth and social independence. As she develops her sense of self, she begins to challenge the restrictions that are imposed on her. Walker further emphasizes the importance of economic independence and professional development in women’s pursuit of autonomy. Through her work and financial self-sufficiency, Celie gains magnified control over her life. She also rebuilds her relationships with people around her and develops a stronger sense of belonging within her community. All these changes explain one thing: Celie’s body space has been reshaped. Those resonant characters, unique narrative forms, and a powerful feminist perspective make Walker’s exploration of women’s resistance in body politics and the process of self-reconstruction in body space more vivid. The Color Purple showcases the process from collapse to reconstruction of black women in the dimension of body space, and it has thus become a classic.
