En su b\u0026amp;uacute;squeda de respuestas, la novelista revisa cuidadosamente sus propios recuerdos, as\u0026amp;iacute; como la historia, la pol\u0026amp;iacute;tica y, especialmente, la literatura, examinando autores como Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway y William Faulkner. A trav\u0026amp;eacute;s de ellos analiza las nociones de pureza racial, el origen de la raza negra como una herramienta para definir una sociedad inmigrante con una gran variedad de procedencias y costumbres, o las formas en que la literatura emplea el color de la piel para definir a los personajes o conducir la narrativa. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Con un pr\u0026amp;oacute;logo de el ganador del National Book Award, Ta-Nehisi Coates. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmerica\u0026amp;rsquo;s foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in \u003ci\u003eThe Origin of Others\u003c\/i\u003e. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O\u0026amp;rsquo;Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison\u0026amp;rsquo;s fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books.― \u003ci\u003eBeloved\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eParadise\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison\u0026amp;rsquo;s most personal work of nonfiction to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49740012421347,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9788426405463","price":105.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/86ab78c67744-9788426405463.jpg?v=1789563312","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/el-origen-de-los-otros-the-origin-of-others","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
