The Source of Self-Regard is brimming with all the elegance of mind and style, the literary prowess and moral compass, that are Toni Morrison's hallmarks. It is divided into three parts: the first is introduced by a powerful prayer for the dead of 9/11, the second by a searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., and the last by a heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. In the writings and speeches included here, Morrison takes on contested social issues: the foreigner, female empowerment, the press, money, "black matter(s) and human rights. She looks at enduring aspects of culture: the role of the artist in society, the literary imagination, the Afro- American presence in American literature, and, in her Nobel lecture, the power of language itself. And here too is piercing commentary on her own work (including The Bluest Eye, Sala, Tar Baby, Jazz, Beloved, and Paradise) and that of others, among them painter and collagist Romare Bearden, author Toni Cade Bambara, and theater director Peter Sellars. In all, The Source of Self-Regard is a luminous and essential addition to Toni Morrison's oeuvre."--Dust jacket. 650 0 American essays. 650 0 Speeches, addresses, etc., American. 650 0 Essays|xWomen authors. 650 0 Speeches, addresses, etc., American|xWomen authors. 650 0 Speeches, addresses, etc., American|xAfrican American authors. 650 0 Meditations|xAfrican American authors. 650 0 Meditations|xWomen authors. 650 4 Meditations. 650 7 LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Speeches.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Essays.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY COLLECTIONS / American / African American. |2bisacsh 655 4 Nonfiction. 655 7 Speeches.|2lcgft 655 7 Essays.|2lcgft 655 7 Meditations.|2lcgft 655 7 Essays.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919922. 655 7 Meditations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423849. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aMorrison, Toni.|tSource of self-regard. |bFirst edition.|dNew York : Alfred A.
