El origen de los otros / by Morrison, Toni,author.(CARDINAL)155916; Coates, Ta-Nehisi,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)341368; Mayor, Carlos,translator.(CARDINAL)561421;
¿Qué es la raza y por qué es importante? ¿Qué motiva la tendencia humana a construir Otros? ¿Por qué la presencia de esos Otros nos asusta tanto? Basándose en sus Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison aborda estas y otras cuestiones que dominan cada vez más la política mundial: la raza, el miedo, las fronteras, los movimientos de masas, el deseo de pertenencia... En su búsqueda de respuestas, la novelista revisa cuidadosamente sus propios recuerdos, así como la historia, la política y, especialmente, la literatura, examinando autores como Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway y William Faulkner. A través de ellos analiza las nociones de pureza racial, el origen de la raza negra como una herramienta para definir una sociedad inmigrante con una gran variedad de procedencias y costumbres, o las formas en que la literatura emplea el color de la piel para definir a los personajes o conducir la narrativa. Con un prólogo de el ganador del National Book Award, Ta-Nehisi Coates.
