how toni morrison effectively displaces race in recititaf but readers avidly try to figure out who is black and who is white
I really thought it was just me, and that I must have been retarded for not being able to figure it out.
Morrison did her job well, though. She has me confused! Either girl could be black or white based on the clues.
because, as humans, we want to figure everything out all the time!
That's why this type of story is so cool! It makes us think outside the box and wonder what it would be like not to care=)
