This book examines Toni Morrison's fiction as a sustained effort to
challenge the dominant narratives produced in the white supremacist
political imaginary and conceptualize a more inclusive political
imaginary in which black bodies are valued. Herman Beavers closely
examines politics of scale and contentious politics in order to
discern Morrison's larger intent of revealing the deep structure of
power relations in black communities that will enable them to
fashion counterhegemonic projects. The volume explores how Morrison
stages her ruminations on the political imaginary in neighborhoods
or small towns; rooms, houses or streets. Beavers argues that these
spatial and domestic geographies are sites where the management of
traumatic injury is integral to establishing a sense of place,
proposing these "tight spaces" as sites where narratives are
produced and contested; sites of inscription and erasure, utterance
and silence.
