It also establishes the theoretical scaffolding of the book, namely material ecocriticism, which holds that human geographies are enmeshed with nonhuman nature. In Morrison’s body of work, the natural world emerges as a site of history, narrative, and memory. Color theory is another theoretical lens brought to bear in this study. Each chapter of the book is organized by color which brings to the fore the constellation of race and the natural world.","PeriodicalId":312732,"journal":{"name":"Toni Morrison and the Natural World","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122077385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
