Mothering is a central issue for feminist theory, and motherhood is
also a persistent presence in the work of Toni Morrison. Examining
Morrison's novels, essays, speeches, and interviews, Andrea
O'Reilly illustrates how Morrison builds upon black women's
experiences of and perspectives on motherhood to develop a view of
black motherhood that is, in terms of both maternal identity and
role, radically different from motherhood as practiced and
prescribed in the dominant culture. Motherhood, in Morrison's view,
is fundamentally and profoundly an act of resistance, essential and
integral to black women's fight against racism (and sexism) and
their ability to achieve well-being for themselves and their
culture. The power of motherhood and the empowerment of mothering
are what make possible the better world we seek for ourselves and
for our children. This, argues O'Reilly, is Morrison's maternal
theory--a politics of the heart.
