About the Book: \;
\nHere is the Nobel Prize winner in her own words: a rich gatheri ng of her most important essays and speeches\, spanning four decades that &ldquo\;speaks to today&rsquo\;s social and political moment as directly a s this morning&rsquo\;s headlines&rdquo\; (NPR).
\nThese pages give us her searing prayer for the dead of 9/11\, her Nobel lecture on the powe r of language\, her searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr.\, her h eart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. She looks deeply into the fault l ines of culture and freedom: the foreigner\, female empowerment\, the pres s\, money\, &ldquo\;black matter(s)\,&rdquo\; human rights\, the artist in society\, the Afro-American presence in American literature. And she turn s her incisive critical eye to her own work (The Bluest Eye\, Sula\, Tar B aby\, Jazz\, Beloved\, \;Paradise) \;and that of others.
\nA n essential collection from an essential writer\, \;The Source of Self -Regard \;shines with the literary elegance\, intellectual prowess\, s piritual depth\, and moral compass that have made Toni Morrison our most c herished and enduring voice.
