The research critically examines the author's position as a black woman in the corpus of Afro-American literature and the differences between the gender injustice and oppression of Afro-American women. In her seven autobiographies, Maya Angelou defended black women and their culture while delving into her own life rather than delving into those of others. This study used textual analysis of autobiographical aspects in conjunction with Michelle M. Lazar's feminist critical discourse analysis to interpret and analyze Angelou's first autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Black people have suffered from racism and injustice for hundreds of centuries in almost all countries of the world. The marginalization of black women in the imperialist society is highlighted in this study work. Focusing on the body of Black writing and relocating it within the core curricula rather than relegating it to specialized courses is one strategy to increase awareness. The study concludes that the concept of Abd al-blackness Wahhb's is the outcome of a range of scientific and unrealistic narratives that go beyond the commonly accepted theories of climatic influences and Hamitic genealogy. Instead, the concept suggests a spontaneous method of racial transformation that can occur independently of geographical location or ancestral lineage, through a variety of factors that can either promote or counteract the maternal body.
