Reviews

In his detailed, textured analysis, Jaleel Akhtar assesses God Help the Child as Toni Morrison's articulation of 'new black' identities as fluid, plastic and evolving from both Harlem Renaissance conceptualizations of the 'New Negro' and from the post-civil rights era...Akhtar's analysis will prove to be a resource for future debate. The awareness of Morrison's body of work, fiction, and non-fiction, leads to some perceptive and insightful extrapolations that will encourage further, enriched debate on the 'new black.' Yasmin Begum, Contemporary Women's Writing
