  Analyzes the relationship between race and genre in four of Toni Morrison's novels: The Bluest Eye , Tar Baby , Jazz , and Beloved . This book argues how Morrison's novels revise conventional generic forms such as bildungsroman, folktales, slave narratives, and the formal realism of the novel itself.
