520 8  America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that 
       preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and 
       world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of 
       peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why 
       does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to 
       construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us 
       so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison 
       takes up these and other vital questions bearing on 
       identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for 
       answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well 
       as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet 
       Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, 
       Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors 
       she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome 
       her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--
       Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. If we learn racism by 
       example, then literature plays an important part in the 
       history of race in America, both negatively and 
       positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century 
       literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with
       the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal 
       diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas 
       Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, 
       notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature
       employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative.
       Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses 
       globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this 
       century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates 
       provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of 
       nonfiction to date
