Abstract: In Sula, Toni Morrison creates a series of black people who are struggling between the black culture and white culture. The novel centers on the black females; however, the black males, long ignored by the critics, share the same importance. Therefore, the analysis of the main four kinds of black male characters in the novel reveals that, because of the affliction of mainstream culture, the black males cannot possess complete identity and unavoidably become victims.

Key words: Sula, Toni Morrison, black male, identity, postcolonialism
