Abstract
This study investigates Gloria Naylor’s representation of the black community in her novels. The study is mainly analytical and thematic. It tries to offer a literary interpretation of the community theme and communal experience in Naylor’s novels. The study deals with the inner relationships of the black community. Community is dealt with as a spiritual phenomenon and a way of life. The significance of living in an authentic community, and why it is important for the black people to hold together like a community, even on larger scales, are crucial investigations. Community has to do with
geographical unity, as well as unity of goals, experience, values, traditions, heritage, and culture. Community, throughout the novels, is seen as an empowering means for the black people. Three novels are studied: The Women of Brewster Place (1982), The Men of Brewster Place (1998), and Linden Hills (1985).
