No white masters, no black oppressed slaves but a freed black people community. In Toni Morrison's Paradise, Blacks create a small town called Ruby far from white people and their fake society. Several miles away is a convent in which five women live. Ruby was to be a paradise but twenty years later, it generates fanatics. The distance from peace to war and from paradise to hell is very short. What is this community? On what principles is it based? How is it to be destroyed? The main purpose of these freed slaves was to build a society based on virtue, pure race and isolation. It is created with strong values and is, in this way, an utopia.
