Toni Morrison's "Beloved": Healing, Recovery And Memory
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Much of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" seems to be about one's memory or repression of a traumatic past. While Baby Suggs urges Sethe to "lay down your sword and shield. Don't study war no more," Sethe finds herself so mired in the past that "her brain wasn't interested in the future" (Morrison 70). Freudian theory would have it that we can't be freed from our past until we face it. With that in mind, one can readily surmise that the connection between healing, recovery and memory in "Beloved" is a long and arduous process of painful explication typically found in slave narratives. No additional sources cited.

Toni Morrison's "Tar Baby": Black-On-Black Prejudice
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. The absence of cultural identity equates to the loss of self in Tony Morrison's "Tar Baby," a conflict with which her two main characters openly grapple. In an attempt to reflect how black-on-black prejudice can be just as damning as any other, the author puts pen to paper in order to illustrate her inherent African-American spirit. Morrison's words are instrumental in effectuating the significant absence of self-image so commonplace in the black psyche that Jadine feels the need to infiltrate the white man's world in order to find meaningful essence. No additional sources cited.

Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” -- Comparing Movie to Novel
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, “Beloved,” and the 1998 screen adaptation of the novel starring Oprah Winfrey. The writer expresses a strong preference for the novel and asserts that the film was not a good adaptation of it. One of Toni Morrison’s great talents as a writer is the way she develops her characters throughout the process of the story she is telling. Each presents himself or herself as an individual in their own right who is about to be irrevocably changed by virtue of the life processes they will encounter. Unfortunately, such depth is neglected in the movie. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Toussaint L'ouverture And The San Domingo Revolution
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Rebellion was part of the enslaved people's everyday lives in San Domingo. Not a day went by that they did not plan and scheme and devise ways to gain their freedom, a freedom that was unjustly oppressed by the white population. Yet so vigilantly controlled were the slaves that rebellion became a near-impossibility, that is, until Toussaint L'Ouverture took the responsibility of leading the slaves to inevitable freedom by means of revolt. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Traci West/Wounds of the Spirit
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page book review that also offers the writer's reactions to Traci C. West's Wounds of the Spirit: Black Women, Violence and Resistance Ethics, which is a text that chronicles stories of abuse from numerous African American women. However, as the full title suggests, this is not simply a book about victimization, as it also discusses empowerment and how these women draw upon spiritual resources in order to resist the social forces that seek to dominate them. This point is demonstrated by looking at four representative chapters of this text. No additional sources cited.
