“In sum, Valerie Smith has risen to the challenge of presentation and synthesis, while making a personal contribution to Morrison scholarship.” (Cercles, 1 December 2015)“This concise volume will be of special value to less experienced (including high school) readers who want to go deeply into Toni Morrison’s work, and it provides an invaluable starting point for anyone who wants to understand the works themselves in their cultural contexts. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-and upper-division undergraduates; general readers.” (Choice, 1 March 2013)
