Extractions: This paper examines Alice Walkers's novel "The Color Purple" and reveals through the characters of the book several social issues of the era. In particular, it looks at how throughout the novel, she is devoted to exploring women's roles within the patriarchal system, emphasizing their desires for freedom, spirituality and creativity and how she is able to communicate to the reader what it means to be poor, black and female in the rural south during the first half of the twentieth century. It shows how through the lives of the characters in "The Color Purple", she presents several individual social aspects such as patriarchy, sexuality and spirituality. "Walker advocates freedom of expression for women. She also believes that a person who is not free to express his or her love is a slave of themselves, just as anyone who would prohibit expression of love has a "slaveholder's mentality" (Living 91). Celie is beaten by her stepfather because he says she has winked at a boy, she writes: "I don't even look at mens. That's the truth. I look at women, tho, cause I'm not scare of them." (Color 6). Celie is attracted to Shug. "First time I got the full sight of Shug Avery, I thought I had turned into a man" (51). The two women lived together for awhile until Shug meets a young man and falls in love with him. Celie is heartbroken and returns home. During this time of her life, Celie and Mister become friends and he proposes marriage."

Curricular Programs and Library Collection Needs Although the first academic program specifically addressing African-American culture did not appear until the 1969-70 academic year, Oberlin's unique position in American history and the development of higher education has resulted in an extraordinary richness of library collections supporting this department. Library collections house the pamphlets, newspapers, books, and magazines of the ante-bellum social and religious reform movements. Abolitionist activism led to the co-education of white and black students, as well as men and women. The Department of Special Collections and the College Archives house rich collections of the leading organizations and individuals active in the causes of the day. The African-American Studies program was originally founded to study and raise awareness of the contributions of Black culture to the American experience. The program initially offered a concentration in individual and community service. With broadened emphasis on the United States and Africa, African-American Studies achieved departmental status in the 1983-84 academic year, and offers a major, a minor, and an honors program which require a concentration in one of five core fields; history, politics
