Toni Morrison: Historical Perspectives and Literary Contexts (Macmillan Modern Novelists Series) - Hardcover
Toni Morrison is universally recognised for reclaiming the occluded narratives of African-American history and the Africanist presence in American national identity. This revised version of Toni Morrison (previously published in the Macmillan Modern Novelists Series) highlights the extent to which her work invokes, often subversively, familiar African-American and Euro-American verbal narratives and is engaged by the histories that are obscured or distorted in them. Reviewing Morrison's career from The Bluest Eye to Paradise, this recently updated study suggests that as her work has become more specifically concerned with particular episodes or events in black history, it has also become more involved in the complexities of historiography. This new edition also has more emphasis on the critical debates that Morrison's fiction has generated and the different theoretical approaches that may be taken to her work.

From the Back Cover:
This succinct, critical introduction to Morrison's work seeks to make her novels more accessible through unravelling notions of self-representation and narrative structure which will be new to readers accustomed to Euro-American literary conventions. Without ghettoising Morrison as a black woman writer, this is the first major study of how the experimental narrative strategies of her fiction are determined by its African-American content. Linden Peach argues that her novels are most usefully approached through an examination of the innovative techniques which they employ and the creative possibilities these offer.
