short read that packs helllllla punch. definitely academic and i had to make sure i was paying rapt attention, and i also didn’t understand all the references she made to the pieces of american lit she highlighted bc i hadn’t read them but her critique of white literature and the undeniable impact white supremacy has on basically all literature is clear and nuanced

SUCH a fascinating read. The second chapter was especially compelling. Highly relevant to our contemporary discussions of what should and shouldn't continue to be canonized.
In our discourse on race, the subject is often focused upon the struggles black people must endure in our white dominated society. Instead of delving into how black americans are harmed by white American literature, Morrison "averts the critical gaze from the racial object to the racial subject", looking chiefly how the presence of Africans and later African Americans shapes american literature and in turn how white americans view themselves.
This was a profound investigation into " the ways in which a nonwhite, Africanist presence and personae have been constructed in the United States, and of the literary uses this fabricated presence is served"
It was truly eye opening!

Quick read because it is short, but this is definitely a text that is best understood by continuously coming back to it! The last chapter is the most compelling and has some of the best close reading in the book! If you study race in literature this is a must have theory/method!
