Description: Teachers started assigning the novels of Toni Morrison long before she won the 1993 Nobel Prize in literature and before there was a significant body of secondary literature on the author. Now her works are the subject of countless studies and listed in the syllabi of an ever-increasing number of courses in schools and universities. The editors of this volume help the teacher to sort out the best materials and to meet the many challenges that Morrison's writings pose.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [163]-174) and indexes.
