TONI PLAYING DARK (2020)

TONI PLAYING DARK

An homage to Toni Morrison’s book of literary criticism, Playing in the Dark, where she undertakes a deep look at the whiteness of the American literary canon and returns to us an analysis that reveals the ways that Black people were pivotal to the formation of the American character. 

“It is an investigation into the ways in which a nonwhite, Africanlike (or Africanist) presence or persona was constructed in the United States, and the imaginative uses this fabricated presence served.” – Toni Morrison
