This is a great introduction to Toni Morrison’s work. Race features extracts from Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, Beloved, the short story Recitatif and the essay Make America White Again.
Both Recitatif and Make America White Again were the works that really stood out for me, for the relevance they currently still have.
Recitatif the short story of the friendship between a black and white girl from pre-teens to adulthood, had me confronting my own assumptions and prejudices about race.
From the outset you’re made aware that one of girls are black the other white, however you don’t know if this is Twyla or Roberta.
Make America White Again provides an explanation of where the hate crime against people of colour stems from.
