La source de l'amour-propre" réunit une quarantaine de textes écrits par Toni Morrison au cours des dernières décennies, où se donne à lire, dans toute son évidence, sa généreuse intelligence. Elle s'implique, débat, ou analyse des thèmes aussi variés que le rôle de l'artiste dans la société, la question de l'imagination en littérature, la présence des Afro-Américains dans la culture américaine ou encore les pouvoirs du langage. On retrouve dans ces essais ce qui fait également la puissance de ses romans : l'examen des dynamiques raciales et sociales, sa grande empathie, et son pragmatisme politique. La Source de l'amour-propre est à la fois une porte d'entrée dans l'œuvre de Toni Morrison et une somme où se donne à lire l'acuité combative de son autrice. C'est aussi, dans un style dont la vigueur ne cesse de nous éblouir, un puissant appel à l'action, au rêve, à l'espoir.

A pillar of African American literature, Richard Wright is one of the most celebrated and controversial authors in American history. His work championed intellectual freedom amid social and political chaos. Despite the popular and critical success of books such asUncle Tom's Children(1938),Black Boy(1945), andNative Son(1941), Wright faced staunch criticism and even censorship throughout his career for the graphic sexuality, intense violence, and communist themes in his work. Yet, many political theorists have ignored his radical ideas.InThe Politics of Richard Wright, an interdisciplinary group of scholars embraces the controversies surrounding Wright as a public intellectual and author. Several contributors explore how the writer mixed fact and fiction to capture the empirical and emotional reality of living as a black person in a racist world. Others examine the role of gender in Wright's canonical and lesser-known writing and the implications of black male vulnerability. They also discuss the topics of black subjectivity, internationalism and diaspora, and the legacy of and responses to slavery in America.Wright's contributions to American political thought remain vital and relevant today.The Politics of Richard Wrightis an indispensable resource for students of American literature, culture, and politics who strive to interpret this influential writer's life and legacy.
