This study analyzes the relationship between race and genre in four
of Toni Morrison's novels: The Bluest Eye, Tar Baby, Jazz, and
Beloved. Heinert argues how Morrison's novels revise conventional
generic forms such as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives,
and the formal realism of the novel itself. This study goes beyond
formalist analyses to show how these revisions expose the
relationship between race, conventional generic forms, and the
dominant culture. Morrison's revisions critique the conventional
roles of African Americans as subjects of and in the genre of the
novel, and (re)write roles which instead privilege their
subjectivity. This study provides readers with new ways of
understanding Morrison's novels. Whereas critics often fault
Morrison for breaking with traditional forms and resisting
resolution in her novels, this analysis show how Morrison's
revisions shift the narrative truth of the novel from its
representation in conventional forms to its interpretation by the
readers, who are responsible for constructing their own resolution
or version of narrative truth. These revisions expose how the
dominant culture has privileged specific forms of narration; in
turn, these forms privilege the values of the dominant culture.
Morrison's novels attempt to undermine this privilege and rewrite
the canon of American literature.
