Abstract Abstract: Since the 20th century, the cultural, political and economic connotations of the landscape have aroused a keen interest in the academia. This article examines the concept of landscape from the ideological perspective, and offers an interpretation of Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby from mainly two aspects, namely the destruction and reconstruction of neo-colonialism on Caribbean landscape and its initiative resistance as an independent subject, with a reference to Roy Kamada’s theories on landscape politics. The analysis reveals how, in Morrison’s postcolonial writing, the Caribbean landscape has exceeded the narrative function as a context or clue and become an independent subject with social function and political connotation, and how it joins forces with the local blacks and their culture to become a new force in the resistance of neo-colonialist movements and cultural invasion from the contemporary white capitalists.
Key Words: Tar Baby; landscape politics; post-colonialism; Caribbean
