Regendans"Waarom je schrijver Toni Morrison (1931-2019) moet kennen
‘Een ernstig effect van racisme is afleiding. Het weerhoudt je ervan je werk te doen’, zei schrijver Toni Morrison, lang voor ze als eerste Zwarte vrouw de Nobelprijs voor de literatuur won. Oprah noemde haar ‘ons geweten’ en Obama leerde van haar ‘hoe te denken en te zijn’. Vandaag zou ze jarig zijn geweest.

Wisdom in SpaceThe genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology but it is really just marketing for power.

Omar MooreOBSERVATION: The March 15, 2026 edition of the Sunday New York Times had, as it always does, its magazine inside the Book Review section. And on this occasion, note the place in the Book Review featuring Toni Morrison, where the magazine was inserted and the cover of the magazine. Subliminal messaging, racism, mere coincidence, intentional, or all of the above? (This comes less than two months after Trump’s racism against the Obamas.)
You be the judge.

The road to freedom in Paul Laurence Dunbar’s “The Road Not Taken"
"The Road Not Taken", by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906), imagines a fugitive from enslavement deciding which road to take to freedom.

“It was not a story to pass on”: An ambiguous sentence at the end of Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” (1987)
In the last section of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" (1987), a sentence is introduced, repeated ("It was not a story to pass on") and then varied ("This is not a story to pass on"). I have always read this as a parodoxical call to not retell the story that has
