Abstract: In Bailey's Café, the contemporary African American writer Gloria Naylor has constructed a new type of black manhood, which transcends violence inherent in traditional black manhood. This represents the writer's intention of resolving racial violence, and integrating the racial trauma and racial survival strategy, and blending conventional education and racial confidence as well, thus reflecting the writer's desire for a racial utopia and a utopia of the two sexes. However, the writer's ambiguity in black violence expresses black men's awkward position and the writer's ambivalence, hence the illusory nature of a racial utopia and a utopia of the two sexes. Nevertheless, this new type of manhood contributes to the construction of self-identity and the realization of black values.
