4.45/5

“All of us, readers and writers, are bereft when criticism remains too polite or too fearful to notice a disrupting darkness before its eyes.”

Would be a 5/5 if I’d been more familiar with the case studies/pieces Morrison uses in her analysis, however it nonetheless pushed me to apply a more critical lens at how our language and literature is shaped by the presence of color, race, and the (attempted) absence thereof.
