Winner of the 2012 Toni Morrison Society Book Prize
"Provides a detailed analysis of the connection between race and trauma and shows through a deeply informed understanding of psychological and neurobiological analyses how the very real and traumatic wounds of racism can affect the mind and the body for generations." -- Carolyn Denard, editor of What Moves at the Margin: Selected Non-Fiction by Toni Morrison and Toni Morrison: Conversations"Dynamic and engaging, redirecting the insights of trauma studies and psychoanalytic theory (including neurobiology and the body) toward an analysis of 'home' in Morrison's work." -- Katrina Harack, American Studies in Review
In this interdisciplinary study of nine novels by Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, Evelyn Jaffe Schreiber investigates how the communal and personal trauma of slavery, embedded in the bodies and minds of its victims, lives on through successive generations of African Americans. Approaching trauma from several theoretical perspectives -- psychoanalytic, neurobiological, and cultural and social theories -- Schreiber analyzes the lasting effects of slavery as depicted in Morrison's work and considers the almost insurmountable task of recovering from trauma to gain subjectivity. Only when trauma is confronted through verbalization and challenged with reparative images of home can memories of a positive self overcome the pain of past experiences and cultural rejection.Evelyn Jaffe Schreiber is a professor of English at George Washington University. Her first book, Subversive Voices: Eroticizing the Other in William Faulkner and Toni Morrison, was awarded the Toni Morrison Society Book Prize in 2003.

Description:
Paperback. New. In this first interdisciplinary study of all nine of Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison's novels, Evelyn Jaffe Schreiber investigates how the communal and personal trauma of slavery embedded in the bodies and minds of its victims lives on through successive generations of African Americans. Approaching trauma from several cutting-edge theoretical perspectives - psychoanalytic, neurobiological, and cultural and social theories - Schreiber analyses the lasting effects of slavery as depicted in Morrison's work and considers the almost insurmountable task of recovering from trauma to gain subjectivity. With an innovative application of neuroscience to literary criticism, Schreiber explains how trauma, whether initiated by physical abuse, dehumanization, discrimination, exclusion, or abandonment, becomes embedded in both psychic and bodily circuits.
