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.  . 410 0$aGeocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies,$x2634-5188 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aAfrican American Culture 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 676 $a813.009355 700 $aBeavers$b Herman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0975277 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300000003321 996 $aGeography and the Political Imaginary in the Novels of Toni Morrison$92220917 997 $aUNINA
