No other contemporary writer conveys this \"double consciousness\" of African American life so faithfully. As her characters struggle to negotiate meaningful roles and identities, and as they confront the inescapable issue of division, her novels are permeated with motifs of fragmentation. This divided entity is a theme repeated throughout Morrison's fiction. Operating on many levels, this plurality-in-unity affects narrators, chronologies, individuals, couples, families, neighborhoods, races. Philip Page's critical interpretation of Morrison's first six novels--\u003ci\u003eSula\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSong of Solomon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bluest Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeloved\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJazz\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTar Baby\u003c\/i\u003e--places her fiction in the forefront of American culture, African American culture and contemporary thought. Her fiction has the power to expand the souls of all readers by taking them into the recesses of other souls-in-process, by requiring them to work the traumas and dilemmas those other souls endure, and by challenging them to know, accept, and keep open their own dangerous freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Page\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878058613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878058617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.06w x 0.72d","brand":"Philip Page","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013827277055,"sku":"9780878058617","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b24575a2-deb1-4383-a2e3-f6c9d14812e2.jpg?v=1767745012","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dangerous-freedom-philip-page-9780878058617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
