Analyzes the relationship between race and genre in four of Toni Morrison's novels: "The Bluest Eye", "Tar Baby", "Jazz", and "Beloved". This book argues how Morrison's novels revise conventional generic forms such as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives, and the formal realism of the novel itself.
In this study Heinert critically analyzes the relationship between race and genre in Toni Morrison's novels, showing how Morrison's break with traditional narrative forms works to undermine and rewrite the canon of American literature.
