Description
Toni Morrison's work is marked by its complex exploration of differences - love and hate, masculinity and femininity, black and white, past and present, wealth and poverty. In this study, Lucille P. Fultz examines how these distinctions are layered in Morrison's narratives, revealing a sophisticated matrix of difference that influences her narrative decisions. Fultz's approach focuses on the ways in which markers of difference shape Morrison's use of imagery and wordplay, as well as her engagement with traditional expectations of gender and race. By considering each novel and story within The Bluest Eye to Paradise, Fultz builds a nuanced understanding of how these "potencies of difference" play out in Morrison's characters. This book offers a fresh perspective on Morrison's work, exploring the intricate relationships between differences that underpin her vibrant and complex narratives.
