Course Schedule – Fall 2024 / Old Courses / TONI MORRISON: THE LEGEND
Coordinators: Donna Ramer, Sheryl Harawitz, Tamara Weinberg
Through two of her books — Jazz and Song of Solomon — we’ll traverse Toni Morrison’s winding road into African mythology and mysticism, race and racism, the legacy of slavery, relationships, love and desire, violence and trauma that are a critical path as her characters search for identity.
