	Toni Morrison
		Toni Morrison''s novel is at once a romance of self-discovery, a retelling of the fl experience in America that uncovers the inalienable poetry of that experience, and a family saga luminous in its depth, imaginative generosity, and universality.
		Morrison challenges our most fiercely held beliefs as she weaves folklore and history, memory and myth, into an unforgettable meditation on race, religion, gender, and the way a society can turn on itself until it is forced to explode.
		At the center of Toni Morrison's fifth novel, which earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is an almost unspeakable act of horror and heroism: a woman brutally kills her infant daughter rather than allow her to be enslaved.

		Traces Morrison's theory of African American mothering as it is articulated in her novels, essays, speeches, and interviews.
		Examining Morrison's novels, essays, speeches, and interviews, Andrea O'Reilly illustrates how Morrison builds upon fl women's experiences of and perspectives on motherhood to develop a view of fl motherhood that is, in terms of both maternal identity and role, radically different from motherhood as practiced and prescribed in the dominant culture.
		Motherhood, in Morrison's view, is fundamentally and profoundly an act of resistance, essential and integral to fl women's fight against racism (and sexism) and their ability to achieve well-being for themselves and their culture.

	Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
		I contend that the allegations against Morrison arise from an erroneous assumption that to write about gender is to ignore race, or, in the words of some theorists, the discourse of race and the discourse of gender are mutually exclusive.
		Some examples are girlhood (remember the book ends with Nel recalling and lamenting, "We was girls together") and the enigmatic deweys appropriated by Eva and transformed by her in the community's imagination.
		Like her Latin American colleagues, her work is almost epic in scope, chronicling as it does the history of a people over five decades, for it begins in medias res and then looks back to the antebellum period when the first fls settled in the area that was to be known as Medallion.

		This angry, destructive ghost breaks mirrors, leaves its fingerprints in cake icing, and generally makes life difficult for Sethe and her family; nevertheless, the woman finds the haunting oddly comforting for the spirit is that of her own dead baby, never named, thought of only as Beloved.
		Morrison, a Nobel laureate, has written many fine novels, including Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, and Paradise--but Beloved is arguably her best.
		And Morrison is master of the telling detail: in the bit, for example, a punishing piece of headgear used to discipline recalcitrant slaves, she manages to encapsulate all of slavery's many cruelties into one apt symbol--a device that deprives its wearer of speech.

	American Literature Resources Online - Toni Morrison
		Morrison herself claims that one of her motivations for writing as a fl woman writer is to allow her fellow fl women to "repossess, re-name, [and] re-own."
		In particular, Morrison has helped fl women "repossess" their identities by creating characters who not only go against typical white American stereotypes of fl females, but also who illustrate many of the overlooked strengths and characteristics of fl womanhood.
		For instance, Morrison's works often concern themselves with fleshing out and thus denying the stereotype of the nurturing, content "fl Mammy." Instead of presenting a fl mother in this pat way, Morrison illuminates the psychological and emotional elements of motherhood in the context of the African-American struggle.
