  abstract: Toni Morrison's lectures on the American canon, illuminating the relationship between race, the arts and life beyond the page. From Herman Melville's Moby Dick to Carson McCullers's The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin to the works of Faulkner and Hemingway, Morrison interrogates major works of American literature as only she can. With an introduction from Morrison's colleague, Claudia Brodsky, Language as Liberation is a revelatory book that once again displays Morrison's intellectual and literary greatness.
