Abstract:
|
This paper addresses two issues. First, why is it that so many critics of white supremacy turn to prophetic forms of speech? Second, by examining Toni Morrison's specific references to prophecy in notable non-fictin writing, I explore how she understands her role as a novelist and writer and distinguishes herself from James Baldwin. |

Since liberalism is constituted by disavowing its |
| Partly by memory of history: uprooting enslavement and subjugation are cast as a traumatic legacy whose narration and overcoming define a constitutive collective project. In response I would ask: Is Morrison’s aesthetic and therapeutic project a symptom of political disappointment and a displacement of politics into culture?
