Více o knize

Focusing on the concept of motherhood, the book explores how Toni Morrison's works redefine black motherhood through the lens of black women's experiences. Andrea O'Reilly analyzes Morrison's novels, essays, and speeches to reveal that for Morrison, motherhood serves as a powerful act of resistance against racism and sexism. This perspective positions mothering as essential to black women's empowerment and cultural well-being, ultimately advocating for a transformative vision of a better world through Morrison's maternal theory—a politics of the heart.
