Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction - and the first black woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature - novelist, orator, and outspoken public intellectual Toni Morrison is best known for her novels.

Reading the racial language between the lines of classic American fiction, Morrison shows that literature is never raceless.

Ajarry, Cora's grandmother, was enslaved in Africa and shipped to America. She was sold many times before she ended up on the Randall plantation in Georgia, where she bore Cora's mother, Mabel.
