  • Time As Geography in Song of Solomon
    TIME AS GEOGRAPHY IN SONG OF SOLOMOS CARMEN FLYS JUNQUERA C.E.N.UA.H. (Resumen) En Song of Salomón vemos personajes con sentido de geografía, de localización, conscientes de su fracaso e identidad. Quien carece de este sentido de lugar, de un pasado, se encontrará perdido y confuso. Se analiza aquí el viaje hacia la búsqueda de identidad del personaje principal, Milkman, según las tres fases del tradicional "romance quest". Geografía y tiempo se unen para encontrar, al fin, la identidad en el pasado. La búsqueda culmina al aceptar su pasado, la tierra de los antepasados y su cultura, para poder así llegar a entender el futuro. Toni Morrison ve su triunfo como no sólo personal, sino el de la comutúdad afro-americana que lucha por no perder su identidad cultural. One of the characteristics of Toni Morrison's fiction is the use of geography. Her characters, plots and themes are intimately related with the place where they Uve or take place. This relationship is delibérate on her part as she clearly states m an interview: "When the locality is clear, fuUy realized, then it becomes universal. I knew there was something I wanted to clear away in writing, so I used the geography of my childhood, the imagined characters based on bits and pieces of people, and that was a statement."' Morrison's background was special. Ohio has a curious location, it has a border with the South, the Ohio River, yet it also borders with the extreme North, Canadá. Lorain, Ohio is neither the modern urban ghetto ñor the traditional plantation South.

Reviewed and approved* by the following: Kevin Bell Associate Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Marcy North Associate Professor of English Honors Adviser AnneMarie Mingo Assistant Professor of African American Studies and Women’s Studies Honors Adviser Jennifer Wagner-Lawlor Associate Professor of English and Women’s Studies Honors Advisor * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Read as four volumes in a narrative retelling of black America, A Mercy, Beloved, Song of Solomon, and Love form a complex mediation on the possibilities for developing mutually liberating relationships across differences of race, class, and gender in different historical moments. The first two texts primarily consider the possibilities for empathy and empowerment across racial differences, inflected through identities like gender and class, while the latter two texts unpack the intraracial barriers to building and uplifting strong black communities. In all texts, Morrison suggests the most empowering identity formations and sociopolitical movements are developed in a coalitional vision of black liberation that rejects capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy as mutually constitutive systems. Central to this theme is Morrison’s sensitivity to the movements of history, how the particular social and political contexts in which her novels take place shape the limitations and possibilities of coalitions.

Through an analysis of comradeship as the virtue of the quest, the hero’s identity within family, gender and geography becomes a function of access to ancestry. Morrison claims these elements and protagonist Milkman’s quest engenders an African American claim on the hybrid American mythology.

  • The Ecology of Resistance in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby
    Journal of Ecocriticism 3(1) January 2011 “Loud with the presence of plants and field life”: The Ecology of Resistance in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby Anissa Wardi, (Chatham University)1 Abstract Tar Baby occupies a peculiar place in Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison’s oeuvre. Following the epic Song of Solomon and preceding her masterwork, Beloved, Tar Baby has received little critical engagement. This article posits that the critics’ discomfort with Tar Baby lies in the fact that the politics of the novel are largely encoded in, and voiced by, the nonhuman world. After reading the natural world as the primary, though not exclusive, vehicle of postcolonial resistance in the novel, this article maintains that given the current interest in ecocritical reading, Tar Baby deserves to be repositioned in Morrison’s canon. Tar Baby occupies a peculiar place in Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison’s oeuvre. The novel was published following The Bluest Eye, Sula and Song of Solomon, and directly preceding Beloved, for which she received the Pulitzer Prize and which catalyzed her status as a literary icon. To be sure, Morrison was a celebrated author when she published Tar Baby, and the novel garnered generally positive reviews.1 Nevertheless, compared to Morrison’s other novels, Tar Baby has received comparatively little critical engagement. 2 On the face of it, Tar Baby is a bit of a departure for Morrison. The locale of this imaginative narrative is the Caribbean, marking the first time that Morrison set a novel, in large part, outside of the United States. Further, and perhaps more significantly, white characters occupy center stage.

  • Social and Cultural Alienation in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby
    Social and Cultural Alienation in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby Lina Hsu National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences I. Introduction As one of the most important contemporary American writers, Toni Morrison has published nine novels. Tar Baby, her fourth novel, has received the least attention among her early novels. It is “the least admired, least researched, and least taught” (Pereira 72). The reason may be two-folded: First, the novel does not focus exclusively on African-American people’s experience. Unlike other works by Morrison, Tar Baby contains much description of a white family. Although the black young man and woman, Son and Jadine, are recognized as the major characters of the book, Morrison explores the experience of the retired white man, Valerian, his wife, and his son with the same deliberation. For critics seeking the purely “black style” to prove Morrison’s originality, a novel with much attention on white people’s life does not seem to be a likely choice. Secondly, Tar Baby has received little critical attention because it is called the “most problematic and unresolved novel” among Morrison’s works (Peterson 471). Morrison’s writing does not merely disclose African-American people’s suffering and struggle. Most importantly, it points out the significance of cultural identification as a way to achieve self-identity. The Bluest Eyes embodies the devastating effect of denying one’s ethnic features. Sula applauds an African-American girl’s pursuit of the self. Son of Solomon celebrates a black male’s quest of his own culture. Beloved, the most widely discussed novel, indicates the way to healing from the traumatic past in the form of traditional culture.

Mother Memory: The Maternal Figure and Memory in Song of Solomon and Beloved Hannah Zinker EN 375: Toni Morrison Professor Stokes 18 December 2017 Zinker 1 In the beginning of Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Sethe regrets that her memories of the plantation where she was enslaved are more vivid than the memories of her own children. Morrison writes, “Try as she might to make it otherwise, the sycamores beat out the children every time, and she could not forgive her memory for that” (7). Here, Sethe wrestles with memory, “cannot forgive her memory” for pushing out her children. Instead, she remembers the trees in which they played, remembers, in all its terrible beauty, the plantation where she was enslaved. Just as slavery stripped mothers of parental rights, it claims parts of Sethe’s memory— memories of her children. As a slave, she had children but could not “have” her children.

Guest-edited by Dr. Mihir Kumar Mallick, Lovely Professional University URL of the Issue: http://rupkatha.com/v8n2.php URL of the article: http://rupkatha.com/V8/n2/11_Toni_Morrison.pdf © AesthetixMS Subversion, Perversion and the Aesthetics of Eroticism in The Bluest Eye, Beloved and Song of Soloman of Toni Morrison J.P. Aggarwal Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab Abstract The novels of Toni Morrison depict her tirade against the forces of white hegemony; she has raised a cry of Black women in America. The Bluest Eye, Beloved and Song of Soloman use the tools of subversion, perversion and eroticism to depict the traumatic experiences of the Black women protagonists. Toni Morrison’s main concern is to tell the world how the Blacks are dehumanized. Her novels depict the cancerous virus of hatred and racial antagonism and gender discrimination. She uses grotesque, magic, the gruesome and elements of folk tale to depict the psychological depression and mental disorder of her women protagonists. The present research paper digs out the dilemmas and absurdities of the Blacks who are caught in the trap of perverse behavior and erotic sensibility. Keywords: Dilemmas, Eroticism, Sexuality, Perversion, absurdities, Racial, Consciousness, Excavation Morrison published The Bluest Eyes, (1970), Song of Solomon (1978) and Beloved (1991), to represent Black women’s experience in a racist society. Morrison uses the techniques of grotesque, images of perversion and erotic to depict the inner turbulent world of Milkman Dead, Pilate, Sethe, Pauline Breedlove and Cholly Breedlove.

AS A BROTHER TO ME: ‘SONG OF SOLOMON’ BY TONI MORRISON[NOTE: This review may contain plot spoilers.]1.’Song of Solomon’ (1977) is Toni Morrison’s third novel, and it’s the one that put her on the literary map, winning the National Book Critics award, getting chosen for Oprah’s book club, and inspiring at least two collections of critical essays and the name of a punk-rock band. Written following the death of Morrison’s father, it is her first book to feature male leading characters. The first part of the book is set in an unnamed city in Michigan. The part of the city called ‘Southside’ - i.e. away from the desirable lakefront property to the north - is implied to be the black neighborhood. (The geography is somewhat ambiguous, as some of the landmarks named in Chapter 1 are consistent with Morrison’s native Ohio.) And like Pecola Breedlove in ‘The Bluest Eye’, its chief protagonist, Milkman Dead, is born in the same year as Morrison herself - in fact, one day after TM’s own birth date.
