托妮·莫里森:我

托妮·莫里森:碎片我看着11小说的著名作家的生命赢得了普利策奖亲爱的在1987年和1993年诺贝尔文学奖。莫里森显示美国,白人和黑人,黑人经验过滤通过“白的目光。”White critics viewed her early books with condescension, calling them "narrow," by which they meant that she depicted a Black world that omitted the white world, which was exactly the point Morrison says she was trying to make. When someone compared her work unfavorably to novelist Ralph Elllison's看不见的人,一个黑人的生活是粉碎了经验在白色的世界里,莫里森尖锐地问道,“看不见的谁?”That protagonist wasn't invisible to other Black people, only to the demeaning white world he faced. Her death in 2019 leaves behind a legacy that touched many students, writers, and readers. She was a professor at her alma mater Howard University and at Princeton University. As a Random House editor, she coaxed books out of Angela Davis and Muhammad Ali, her personal mission to "bring other people of color to the party." She laments what she observes as a "master narrative" that guides society, something like an ideological script imposed by people in authority on everybody else. That's why some young Black girls prize white dolls and why some older Black women self segregate by skin tone, an experience Morrison had at the historically Black college Howard University, where she was invited to join a sorority that she later learned only accepted light-skinned Black women. The movie opened in June 2019; Morrison died of pneumonia two months later at the age of 88.
