Given these perspectives, the corpus text is discussed taking into account the importance of experiences and ties with the community, for change and progress. <em>\u00a0<\/em>The existing problem relates to biased criticisms claiming that works such as <em>So<\/em> <em>Long a Letter<\/em> and <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God<\/em> produce liberated women disconnected from the traditional world. The objective of this paper is to show that the nonconformity of females in quest for freedom vis-\u00e0-vis established institutions mirrors the Afro-surrealist use of the past experiences to create liberating values intrinsically connected to the contemporary world. The ideologies of freedom sustained by Afrosurrealism and feminism are used to discuss how the female protagonists use love, family and class, initially oppressive to them, to liberate themselves and how they extend this freedom to their community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Afro-surrealism, African woman, community values, feminism, freedom.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>R\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/em><\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 L\u2019approche litt\u00e9raire Afro-surr\u00e9aliste part du principe que l\u2019on peut utiliser ses exp\u00e9riences pass\u00e9es pour changer le pr\u00e9sent et ainsi se lib\u00e9rer de tout carcan de servitude, et dans le contexte de la pr\u00e9sente \u00e9tude, elle vise \u00e0 offrir des perspectives sur la fa\u00e7on dont les femmes noires \u00e0 travers les cultures africaines et afro-am\u00e9ricaines utilisent leurs exp\u00e9riences d\u2019amour,de famille et de classe pour changer les institutions oppressives dans leur vie et acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la libert\u00e9.
