Toni Morrison Race (Vintage Minis) /anglais Review: Very strong collection - This was a very strong collection of stories and essays by Toni Morrison where she discusses race and racism from many different perspectives. I loved that she was able to show different sides of racism, not only from white people, but black people as well. She was able to convey how much racism or being a product of racism really affects you, and how that stigma never goes away no matter how much time has passed. My favorite excerpt was from her novel The Bluest Eye, about a young black girl who feels ugly, and has always wished for blue eyes, so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. This story explores the notions of race and beauty and how a woman is adversely affected when she does not fit the stereotypical profile of what constitutes beauty. Toni Morrison reminds readers how hurtful racism is, and that the effects of racism trickle down to people's self-esteem and confidence and self-worth for the rest of their lives. Morrison brings forward a point of view that is not usually discussed in stories depicting race, and for that I felt that this book and these stories would remain with me much longer than other books would. Review: Tengo un amigo al que le encanta la autora y lo deboró y le encantó por lo que lo recomiendo.

As always, Toni Morrison sheds light on this subject from her unique perspective, reading from her work and talking about how race defines certain characters or not.
