- Summary
- America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, she considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century
