Review Quotes:
Through the canvas of female bodies, Moore investigates how Morrison uses maternal power and representation to not only expose the racial inequities, violence, and oppression of Black bodies throughout United States history; but also how the trauma endured become physical representations of power, hope, and healing... Meticulously researched and documented, Moore has given us a detailed roadmap to not only better understand Morrison as an author, but also an activist and unflinching historian of America's dark and often whitewashed past.
