*Toni Morrison and American Culture*
In this course we will explore how Toni Morrison has helped shape and been shaped by ongoing American conversations about race and identity. Beginning with /The Origin of Others/, her recent collection of essays, and ranging through her fiction from /The Bluest Eye/ to /Beloved/ to /Home/, we will assess her work in the contexts of the cultural moments in which the novels appeared, using commentary from Black cultural critics like Ta-Nehisi Coates, bell hooks, Shaun King, and James Baldwin to inform our readings. 3 hrs. sem.
