Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison provides a personal inquiry into the significance of African-American literary imagination. Her goal, she states at the outset, is to \"put forth an argument for extending the study of American literature\". Author of \"Beloved\", \"The Bluest Eye\", \"Song of Solomon\", and other vivid portrayals of black American experience, Morrison ponders the effect that living in a historically racialized society has had on American writing in the 19th and 20th centuries. She argues that race has become a metaphor, a way of referring to forces, events, and forms of social decay, economic division, and human panic. Her argument is that the central characteristics of American literature - individualism, masculinity, the insistence upon innocence coupled to an obsession with figurations of death and hell - are responses to a dark and abiding Africanist presence.

BOOK REVIEW of Reflections on the Moral and Spiritual Crisis in Education

This study contributes to research linking diversity and higher education teaching to democratic learning outcomes. It explores processes and outcomes associated with the intergroup contact of Black and White students enrolled in two sections of a diversity education course at a public university in the southeastern United States. The goals of this study were: (1) to explore the intergroup dynamics that emerged when students interacted in both sections of the course; and (2) to identify student support for intergroup cooperation as a result of their experiences in the course. While one section of the course experienced a high degree of intergroup conflict, students in both sections reported support for intergroup cooperation at the end of the course.

Diversity and intergroup contact in higher education: exploring possibilities for democratization through social justice education

Introduction As Black (1) women educators, we situate ourselves at the intersection of race, gender, and pedagogy. For us, to be Black women educators demands that we attune ourselves to the critical ways institutional structures create, shape, and manipulate our lives. We find ourselves consistently questioning what it means to be Black women educators at predominantly White institutions. In many ways, our pedagogy was inherited, consciously and unconsciously, as we watched our mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers, educate in unfathomable circumstances. In being with these maternal caretakers, we learned the importance of presence, being in relationship, being with ourselves, and being engaged with the past. From them we learned that to be a Black woman was to teach, to embody the political in word and deed. They taught us how and when to "read the world" and to "read the word," to gaze in ways that would interpret, erase, and transcend Jim Crow segregation as well as its residual affects (Freire, 1998b; hooks, 2003). In framing this article, we discovered that we could not divorce the social and familial from the academic. From our perspective, writing as critical educators begins with the personal, connects with the political, and extends to the spiritual. We center our critical perspectives on the spiritual because we believe that, to fight against injustice, we must engage in a pedagogy of the soul (O'Malley, 2003, 2007) or emancipatory spirituality (Lerner, 2005)--a way of teaching and learning that allows us to teach and learn as integrated beings (hooks, 1994; Krishnamurti, 1953; Purpel, 2005). A pedagogy of the soul allows educators to engage in teaching and learning as connoisseurs (Eisner, 1985) able to perceive subtleties and contradictions. Such a pedagogy makes possible an attunement to affliction (interior suffering) and quest for human goodness. In modeling for us what it meant to be present, our maternal ancestors embodied a womanist ideology (Beauboeuf-Lafontant, 2002, 2005; Walker, 1983; Williams, 2002) which mirrors O'Malley's (2003, 2007) pedagogy of the soul in that they lived in the nexus between pedagogy, politics, and spirituality. A pedagogy of the soul disturbs us, however, because we have witnessed its destructive affects on our Black women ancestors. In a sense, they have cared too much, worked too hard, and come to understand exhaustion as the norm rather than the exception. In defying and refuting multiple oppressions (e.g., racism, sexism, classism), they constructed a persona of strength which has, in its interpretation and application become a primary paradigm for Black women's lives. While the lived experiences of Black women and their transcendent survival may speak truth to the metaphor "strong Black woman," such comparisons trap Black women into cyclical modes of being which demand that they "live" the metaphor. In attempting to do so, they dismiss weakness and privilege strength; with such privileging, they embody normative notions of womanhood which differ from those assigned to White women (e.g., humble, frail, dependent, etc.) (Piper, 2003; Wittig, 1993). To embody (or to perform--see Butler, 1993, 2003) a womanhood which differs from the norm situates Black women in perpetual conflict and predisposes them to alienation, isolation, and insecurity--all of which, if navigated while living the metaphor of "strong Black woman," can lead Black women to disproportionately suffer from depression (Beauboeuf-Lafontant, 2007). Embracing Beauboeuf-Lafontant's (2002) exposition of black womanist pedagogy, we contend that Black women teachers historically have operated with an embrace of the maternal, political clarity, and an ethic of risk. With such a pedagogy, they perceive teaching to be a political act, one grounded in "other mothering" (Collins, 2000), and contextualized by a race-based positionality which marks them as oppressed. This "marking" assigns Black women educators to a culturally inferior border position. …

Care-Sickness: Black Women Educators, Care Theory, and a Hermeneutic of Suspicion.

This essay discusses an academic capitalist knowledge regime (i.e. the increasing engagement of public institutions of higher education in market-based ventures) and the alterations to teacher and student behavior and the learning environment that result. Social justice-oriented university courses are positioned as sites where democratization and contestation of academic capitalism can be waged. The resistance of white students to curricular issues dealing with race is identified as a factor thwarting the counter-hegemonic potential of social justice-oriented courses and critical race theory (CRT) is offered as a corrective to ease student resistance to issues of race by encouraging postmodern understandings of racial identity. Ways in which CRT opens spaces for democratization, social justice, and the contestation of the academic capitalist knowledge regime are discussed.

Critical Race Theory, Democratization, and the Public Good: Deploying Postmodern Understandings of Racial Identity in the Social Justice Classroom to Contest Academic Capitalism.

"This study is a conceptual project which explores ways in which U. S. black epistemologies can provide new understandings of oppression and new strategies for transcending hierarchical relationships of power and domination. Specific epistemologies developed by enslaved Africans in the U. S. and their descendents have enabled U. S. black Americans to navigate the paradoxes and contradictions of living under conditions of oppression in a society founded on freedom and equality. It is hypothesized that these U. S. black epistemologies, which make sense of and provide strategies for managing existential feelings of alienation, displacement, and despair that accompany experiences of oppression, can be useful for the majority of people in our society who, due to the postmodern condition, are now experiencing similar existential feelings. The U. S. black epistemology chosen for this exploration is black theology. It is believed that this discipline's struggles to deal with issues of oppression, within-group heterogeneity, the complex role of Christianity in black liberation, and issues of appropriation and authenticity provide a microcosm of issues facing black Americans in U.S. The context and history of the development of black theology is provided followed by a deconstructive analysis of contemporary black theological discourse.Finally, a re-articulated black theology is constructed out of libratory black theologicaldiscourse, the Korean concept of Han (i.e. the psychological woundedness of victims of oppression), feminist theology, and selective, critical appropriations of prevailing theoriesof power and knowledge. This project ends with a discussion of the pedagogical nature of the present study. Ways in which this re-articulated black theological vision connects with critical pedagogy and social justice are explicated."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.
