Religiosity, Cosmology and Folklore : The African Influence in the Novels of Toni Morrison PDF
by Therese E. Higgins
Part of the Studies in African American History and Culture series
Description
This book presents background information on the beliefs, customs, traditions and cosmologies of several of Africa's foremost peoples, relates these findings to each of Morrison's seven novels by highlighting the connections between the African root and the African-American product, and elucidates how this connection helps to understand and to clarify many of Morrison's allusions to the culture out of which she writes.
It presents a new way of reading Morrison's work that has been previously overlooked, and moves beyond just African-American culture, delving into Africa and its people.
