Circles of Sorrow, Lines of Struggle - The Novels of Toni Morrison

This study of the first six novels of Toni Morrison situates her as an African American writer within the American literary tradition who interrogates national identity and reconstructs social memory. The text portrays Nobel Laureate Morrison as a historiographer attempting to bridge the gap between emergent black middle-class America and its sub-altern origins.
