How does Toni Morrison use language to represent race? Answering this question through literary criticism and linguistic research, this book shows how Morrison's language reflects the souls of black folk in The Bluest Eye and Beloved . The book focuses on the way in which Morrison forces language to reveal what cannot be spoken by a "black" grammar. To achieve the breaking of this silence, Morrison uses rhetoric, voice, and narrative structures not conventionally used to achieve the effect of "black English." Students and teachers of Toni Morrison's novels and black English will find this book useful.
"How does Toni Morrison achieve the 'black' sound of her novels, even though she refuses to employ 'eye dialect,' which is language that looks black as a result of nonstandard grammar, syntax, and spelling? In clear and accessible prose, Ritashona Simpson answers this question by analyzing what Morrison's language does - how it 'acts black.' Drawing on a range of structuralist and post-structuralist theories of language, this book argues persuasively that Morrison's language resolves what had been a dilemma for African American writers throughout the twentieth century as they struggled to render the oral culture literate. 'Black Looks and Black Acts' makes an important and distinctive contribution to Morrison studies." (Professor Cheryl Wall, Rutgers University, New Brunswick)
