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

3.5

informative reflective slow-paced

---

This is a valuable text, and Morrison has a strong argument about the way whiteness in literary imagination can only be understood through the othering of African American writers and characters. I almost wish there was more to this text and I probably should’ve read the works she discusses before listening. Still, a powerful work!
