Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination

Toni Morrison
Kim Scott 🇺🇦 #BLMKim Scott 🇺🇦 #BLM

Just read @chafkin's book on Thiel. Made me think of this line from Playing in the Dark by Toni Morrison. “feeling within himself a sense of authority autonomy he had no known before, a force that flowed from his absolute control over the lives of others.”

This conversation with @Dahlialithwick was just what I needed & finally let loose the tears that have been frozen these past few days. She quotes Howard Zinn “You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train,” a meditation on hope. https://t.co/qzbrmsTo3W

The Bluest Eye

Toni Morrison
Kim Scott 🇺🇦 #BLMKim Scott 🇺🇦 #BLM

I loved Judy Bloom as much as any other 10 year old in the 1970's. But she never won any Nobel prizes for literature. That she is banned is much less shocking than banning Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Why's she trending when Morrison didn't? https://www.today.com/parents/teens/missouri-school-district-bans-toni-morrisons-bluest-eye-rcna13967
