In Bodily Evidence: Racism, Slavery, and Maternal Power in the Novels of Toni Morrison, Geneva Cobb Moore explores how Morrison captures and mirrors the tragedy experienced by and transformation of African Americans, using parody and pastiche, semiotics and metaphors, and allegory to portray black life in the United States, teaching untaught history to liberate Americans. In this short and accessible book, originally published as part of Moore's Maternal Metaphors of Power in African American Women's Literature, she covers each of Morrison's novels, from The Bluest Eye to Beloved to God Help the Child. With a new introduction and added coverage of Morrison's final book, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations, Bodily Evidence will be essential reading for scholars, students, and readers of Morrison's work"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 87 - 93) and index. 505 0 $a Toni Morrison's demonic parody of racism and slavery -- The Bluest Eye : Jim Crow America and the cultural womb of stillbirth -- Sula : the bottom as dispossessed maternal womb -- Song of Solomon : paternal law versus the maternal spirit of sacrifice -- Beloved : the African American Holocaust of American slavery -- Paradise : utopia and dystopia in the all-negro community -- Tar Baby, Jazz, Love, and A Mercy : the rejection/absence of a loving maternal force -- Home -- God Help the Child -- Afterword : Toni Morrison, 1931-2019. 600 10 $a Morrison, Toni $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Morrison, Toni $x Themes, motives. 600 17 $a Morrison, Toni. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00062028 650 0 $a African American mothers in literature. 650 0 $a Slavery in literature. 650 0 $a Racism in literature. 650 0 $a Race relations in literature. 650 7 $a Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355139 650 7 $a African American mothers in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902311 650 7 $a Race relations in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086563 650 7 $a Racism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086655 650 7 $a Slavery in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120515 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Moore, Geneva Cobb. $t Bodily evidence $d Columbia, South Carolina : The University of South Carolina, [2020] $z 9781643361017 $w (DLC) 2020006306 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8047808EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
