Описание: Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 Toni Morrison and Literary Tradition explores Toni Morrison's construction of alternative and oppositional narratives of history and places her work as central to the imagining and re-imagining of American and diasporic identities. Covering the Nobel Prize-winning author's novels (up to Home), as well as her essays, dramatic works and short stories, this book situates Morrison's writings within both African-American and American writing traditions and examines them in terms of her continuous dialogue with the politics, philosophy and literary forms of these traditions. Toni Morrison and Literary Tradition provides a comprehensive analysis of Morrison's entire oeuvre, from her early interrogation of Black Power to her engagement with fin de siecle postcolonial critiques of nationalism and twenty-first century considerations of ecology. Justine Baillie goes on to argue that Morrison's aesthetic should be understood in relation to the historical, political and cultural contexts in which it, and the African-American and American literary traditions upon which she draws, have been created and developed.

Описание: I had almost forgot who I was until I met him. Elijah stirred something within me. I had stared at him from afar. He was dangerous and seductive. Fantasies of him and me together played in my daydreams. I did my best to keep them there. Then one encounter with him changed my world. He took me back to where he and his lover Zak lived. The memories came alive in my head. They wouldn't leave and I suddenly knew that Elijah and I had a past. He had become one of Hades boys and I was not. I was left with the blood lust inside me-a vampire. He was a demon. But our lives were spent together oh so long ago. We were to be married. How could that be? I had to find out and the only one who held answers was a captive witch who was held by Hades. And now here I am, going against my lover's wishes and have made a deal with her to get us out of Hades world. Elijah will kill me if he finds out. Betrayal is something he cannot tolerate. But I have no choice. If I want peace for Elijah and me, then I have to do this. May the heavens above have mercy on me.
