The C. O. W. S. Toni Morrison's Tar Baby Part 1

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the debut study session on the late Toni Morrison's 1981 novel, Tar Baby. The first black female to win the Nobel Prize for literature, Morrison, an Ohio native, died this summer at the age of 88. In edition to editing a number of black texts and compiling an awesome body of written work, Morrison encouraged other black females and males to write - including Dr. Angela Davis. The C.O.W.S. Book club read The Bluest Eye back in 2012. We'll recognize her passing by returning to her work, this time to read Tar Baby. This novel is titled after the Uncle Remus character "Tar Baby." The term has been used a racist slur applied specifically to black children. This fable becomes an important part of the narrative. This book examines sexual intercourse between a White man and a black female. We'll see what this "tragic arrangement" reveals about White Supremacy and how readers respond to this interracial romance. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
