Toni Morrison's Developing Class Consciousness

This revision of the 1991 edition adds chapters critiquing Toni Morrison's subsequent novels, Jazz (1992) and Paradise (1998), plus the Nobel Prize-winning author's reflections on how her life experiences are reflected in her creative process and particular works. Through the ideological lens of Nkrumaism, which applies historical and dialectical materialism to explain and propose a solution to the unique oppression of African peoples, Mbalia (Africology, U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) details how Morrison via her themes and characters shares her "...struggle to contribute to the liberation of African people."
