Description
The Origin of OthersAmerica's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on
America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid?
Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.Binding Type: Hardcover

Divider doesn’t work
Color: Stainless Steel
Size is great. Quality is great except for the divider, which doesn’t work at all. It’s too loose and doesn’t stay on

Clean Look and Practical — Keeps Sink Area Organized
Color: Black
I’ve been using this HOKEMOM sink caddy for a little while now, and it’s a solid upgrade for keeping the sink area neat and organized.
The biggest advantage is the “stay-dry” design. Since it doesn’t rely on drainage holes, it works well on the countertop without making a mess underneath. It keeps sponges, brushes, and soap all in one place without water pooling everywhere.
The stainless steel construction feels sturdy, and the rust-resistant coating is a nice touch for something that’s constantly around water. It also has a clean, modern look that fits well in the kitchen without looking bulky.
Size-wise, it holds a good amount without taking up too much space, which is perfect if you don’t want clutter around the sink.
The only thing to note is that since there’s no drainage system, you’ll want to occasionally wipe underneath or keep items from being overly wet so water doesn’t build up over time.
Overall, it’s a simple, functional organizer that keeps things tidy and looks good doing it.
Pros: clean design, sturdy, keeps area organized, no dripping mess
Cons: no drainage (needs occasional wipe), best for moderate use
