This work expands the scope of Morrison's project to examine the
ways and means of memory in the preservation of belief systems
passed down from the earliest civilizations (both the Classical
Greek and the Ancient Egyptian) as a challenge to the sterility of
modernity. Moreover, this research explores the author's specific
use of Foucauldian theory as a vehicle for her narrative, which
reclaims the very origins of civilization's primal concerns with
life, procreation and regeneration, springing from the very Heart
of Africa. Despite the weight of "white" authority and the
disparaging of "blackness," Beloved's multiple "ghosts" conjure up
a legacy so potent that no authoritarian discourse has been able to
entirely erase it, a legacy that still speaks to us from a heritage
we no longer acknowledge yet that nevertheless remains, and
sustains us.
