Each of the essays examines the various ways in which Morrison's work delineates and interrogates Western culture's ideological norms of mothers, motherhood, and mothering. The essays consider Morrison's female, and in some cases male, characters as challenging the concept that mothering and motherhood is a stable notion. The essays reveal both that mothering is a central concept in Morrison's work and that an examination of this pervasive notion illuminates her corpus as a whole. Toni Morrison and Mothers/Motherhood offers a wide range of scholarship that provides a compelling look at Morrison's work through an array of interdisciplinary approaches that are grounded in feminist/gender studies. This interdisciplinary collection of essays will be of interest to scholars and critics concerned with the notions of how we define mother/motherhood/mothering and the problem of its interpretation within Western society as well as those engaged in the interpretation of African-American literature, Morrison's work in particular."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Morrison, Toni $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Morrison, Toni $x Characters. 650 0 $a Mothers in literature. 650 0 $a Motherhood in literature. 600 17 $a Morrison, Toni. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00062028 650 7 $a Motherhood in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026934 650 7 $a Mothers in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027013 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Baxter, Lee, $e editor. 700 1 $a Satz, Martha, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710045124.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD36F77AF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
