zzara 's review for:

Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination by Toni Morrison

3.0

---

I read this book for uni, and I think it's really thoughtful and insightful, but also not groundbreaking, at least for me. I think her analysis of the construction of the USA as a nation through literature, and how Africanist identity is constructed through that is super interesting, and it would be great if more work would be done in this in an Australian context.
